Emergency Veterinary Staff Turnover
Emergency veterinary hospitals face one of the highest turnover rates in the veterinary field, especially for overnight technicians and support staff. This turnover disrupts daily operations, leads to gaps in patient care, and places immense stress on the remaining team members. Solutions such as retention consulting, employee wellness programs, and recruitment outsourcing are crucial in addressing these issues and stabilizing staffing levels.
Problem Statement:
An emergency veterinary hospital experienced high turnover among technicians and support staff, particularly those working overnight shifts. The continuous need to recruit, train, and integrate new hires not only slowed down patient care but also placed additional strain on the remaining employees, further exacerbating the turnover problem.
