My Friend’s Dentist Earns B Corporation Certification
My Friend’s Dentist, a growing general, cosmetic and implant dentistry practice in Wilmington, North Carolina, announced that the practice has officially become a Certified B Corporation.

They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community and the environment.

As the third dental practice in the country to achieve the standard, My Friend’s Dentist joins more than 2,500 Certified B Corporation companies—including New Belgium Brewing, Patagonia, and Ben?&?Jerry’s—seeking to use “business as a force for good” across 121 industries and 40 countries.

My Friend’s Dentist has implemented practices that include developing a more inclusive, transparent workplace, offsetting carbon emissions, buying local, monitoring and reducing waste, and contributing resources to local nonprofits including Cape Fear River Watch, The Carousel Center and Nourish NC.

OnDiem Launches Digital Platform for On-Demand Dental Staffing
OnDiem has announced the launch of its new platform connecting dental practices and dental professionals to meet real-time staffing needs. Able to serve employers and employees in all 50 states, onDiem eliminates staffing compliance burdens by offering prevetted employees who are covered by malpractice and workers’ comp insurance and have the option to participate in a group health care plan after working one shift.

Designed to help practices resolve staffing shortfalls, optimize production and increase revenue, onDiem’s on-demand staffing platform connects dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and front office professionals with temporary and permanent staffing opportunities. With a free account, practices can create posts for new temp shifts, search for professionals in their area and communicate with candidates directly.

The company says it distinguishes itself from other staffing platforms that enroll contractors by classifying its pool of temporary staff as onDiem employees. This aims to solve the challenge of employee misclassification and allows professionals to take advantage of employer-paid taxes, insurance coverage and health care benefits without sacrificing scheduling and rate flexibility.
