Dear Readers,
In light of our aim to put the customer at the center of everything we do, we asked a diverse group of employees, “What helps you to keep the customer and the patient in mind everyday?” for this edition’s Ask Me Anything. Their personal responses show the high level of care our employees bring to their work.
Part of our success depends on the relationship between the Company and its customers. Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) therefore play an important role both for their expertise in helping us to better understand the needs of our customer base and also as partners in clinical education, helping to improve dental care around the world. This issue of Spotlight also includes an article sharing some of the ways in which we support and work with these experts.
Employees have been busy preparing for DS World 2018 events in Orlando and Moscow and this edition’s cover story describes some of the highlights from “The Ultimate Dental Meetings.” Continuing the Spotlight series focusing on SBUs, this issue includes an in-depth look at the Implants SBU. Readers will also find information on the ongoing effort to improve employee engagement as well as an article detailing some of the programs and initiatives under the umbrella of the DS University, which will play an important role in the professional development of our talented workforce.
We hope you enjoy reading this issue of our employee magazine,
