Bullying in Veterinary Workplaces | Episode 32 | Reviving Vet Med
Description
Surveys demonstrate that approximately 50% of veterinary team members have experienced sustained harassment in the workplace. Workplace bullying is a rarely discussed but incredibly important problem in veterinary medicine and something that veterinary leaders, practice managers, and team members must take steps to mitigate or prevent.
In today’s episode, we review the definition of workplace bullying, who it impacts, what the consequences are, and how veterinary workplaces can prevent or address bullying. I also share my own experience with bullying and what I encourage others to do if they find themselves in a similar situation.
