The aesthetic industry is rapidly growing in terms of patient awareness and practice growth.

While we all hope that employees conduct themselves with absolute integrity off-premises, there is no sure fire way of knowing until it's too late. This interview with Kurt Tullar, a lead attorney and HR Advisor at CEDR HR Solutions, the nation's leader in HR support and Employee Handbook design, discusses the importance of clear practice policies.
