We're about to make some employers mad. 😬
But here it goes: We think non-competes are bullshit.
And we're saying that as business owners who have spent years hiring, training, mentoring, and investing in our clinicians!
Why should getting a new job, starting your own practice, or leaving a workplace that isn't right for you mean having to move your family, change specialties, or drive an hour away just to earn a living?
In this 'sode, we're getting fired up about non-compete agreements and why we believe they're bad for employees, employers, AND the pelvic health profession.
We're talking about:
🚫 Why non-competes hurt our profession — How restricting clinicians' ability to change jobs limits opportunity, earning potential, and competition between employers.
⚖️ Are non-competes even legal? — Why the answer depends on your state, what happened to the proposed federal ban, and why understanding your specific agreement matters.
🤝 Non-competes vs. other employment protections — The important differences between non-competes, non-solicitation agreements, confidentiality, intellectual property, and training repayment agreements.
💪 You CAN negotiate your contract! — Why you shouldn't assume an employment agreement is set in stone, and what to consider before signing away your future options.
🏥 The employer perspective — We understand the fear of investing in an employee who eventually leaves. But is restricting their career really the answer?
🌱 Abundance vs. scarcity — Why great employers should focus on creating workplaces people WANT to stay at instead of trying to contractually force them to stay.
And yes, Jesse gets a little fired up. Nicole tries to keep things on track. We may or may not establish the official position of the newly formed Rising Task Force. 😂
Our bottom line? Your employer doesn't own your clinical skills, your degree, or your future.
If you're an employee, understand what you're signing and don't be afraid to negotiate.
If you're an employer, build a practice where people stay because they love working there—not because they're afraid to leave.
And remember, non-compete laws vary significantly by state. We're not attorneys, so make sure you understand the laws and agreements that apply to your specific situation.
