Veterinary Employers Need to Do More Vetting

Listen closely to a job candidate’s words and make note of what’s not said. Body language can be revealing.

You can try to tame an employee’s persistent tardiness, but termination sometimes is the appropriate move.

A disciplined approach involving the practice team will help steer you clear of unfit job candidates.

What’s needed to lure or keep a coveted veterinarian?

In the struggle to hire and retain team members, pet health insurance is an employee perk that pays off in multiple ways.

Jobless claims are a cost of doing business, so understand what you can control or challenge and what you can’t.

Sign-on and retention bonuses might make the difference in successfully recruiting veterinarians and keeping others in the fold.

Talented employees are more likely to stay if you treat and compensate them better. Exercising your pricing power will pay the tab.

Rethink how you use veterinary team members and schedule appointments. Vendors can assist with some back-office tasks.

Stopgap staffing solutions are good, but what’s even better is when a great doctor wants to return to your practice.
