Have you made yourself an essential employee?

We're looking for team members who are the go-to people for certain duties in their practices.

What's an essential employee? A team member who has carved out a niche in his or her practice and become the go-to guy or gal. If this describes you, we want to hear how you did it. Your example will help other team members grow in their careers. To share you story, please e-mail Firstline editors at [email protected].
