What Do You Do If Your Workplace Is Toxic? | Episode 35 | Reviving Vet Med
Description
Focus group research has helped to identify what companion animal team members consider behaviors, attitudes, or situations that are prevalent in a toxic environment. While studies have shown that those who work in a toxic environment have higher burnout scores and lower job satisfaction, the good news is that there are ways to shift the culture and make the situation better.
In this episode, we discuss solutions for some of the situations that lead to workplace toxicity, whether you are an employee or leader in your veterinary practice. Practical tools and strategies will be shared to support taking steps toward a healthy environment that fosters wellbeing.
