FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR PATIENTS

People first isn’t a slogan here. It’s how we run Peak.

We ask our people what the work is really like, then act on what we learn.

WHAT SETS PEAK APART

Plenty of dental companies talk about culture. We’re fanatical about it.

Talk is easy. So instead of another mission statement, we brought in a peer-reviewed tool and started asking our people real questions. Culture, to us, means people who feel energized by the work and want to stay.

True support means listening with intent to act. If our clinicians aren't thriving, we aren't succeeding.

We want Peak to be a place where the work is simpler and more human, so people can find purpose and joy in it and want to build a whole career here

WE KEEP SCORE

A validated tool, used in medical settings worldwide. Now at work at Peak.

SCORE was developed by Bryan Sexton, Ph.D., director of the Duke Center for the Advancement of Well-being Science. It’s used in more than 30 countries and has been validated across medical settings.

It measures five core areas. Peak is the first dental support organization in the country to use this tool.

Psychological safety

can people speak up, admit a mistake or ask for help without fear of getting punished for it?

Local leadership

does the person someone reports to every day have their back?

Emotional thriving

do people feel energized by the work, not just able to survive it?

Emotional recovery

can people truly rest and reset, or does the day follow them home?

Burnout

what builds up when too many of the above go unanswered for too long?

COUNTED AND CARED FOR

A survey means nothing without follow-through.

Every person on our team has direct access to senior leadership, including our Chief Well-Being and Quality Officer, not just a portal or a suggestion box. Two clinical cabinets, one for doctors and one for hygienists, bring what clinicians see every day to our executive leadership. Members advise on clinical and strategic direction, from new technology to mentorship. Well-being isn’t a survey result. It’s a standing commitment.

Meet our leadership team

Dentistry has always had the clinical standards. What it has lacked is a systematic approach to the human experience behind them. That is what we are building at Peak.

Caring about people first isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s the smart one.

If you believe in a people-first approach, we'd love to connect. Let's talk about what's possible for your next chapter.
