Summary: While many of our podcasts have focused on the current veterinary workforce shortages, perhaps we haven’t talked as much about retaining staff as we should. This week we discuss how hiring, onboarding, phase training, new employee integration, and personality matching can help keep good staff longer and improve your team’s ability to attract and retain new hires. Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT talk a deep dive into the steps you need to take when hiring and onboarding new veterinary team members. From Dr. Ward’s method of “team interviews and hiring,” to Beckie’s nightmare stories of “first day disasters,” this episode is packed with practical advice for any veterinary clinic interested in attracting and retaining and the best teams. While no one can’t magically get you new employees, we can help you keep your best team members and maybe make your practice a “destination career” or at least a supportive, nurturing, and collaborative environment. Viewfinders, this is a good one to share with your friends and co-workers!
