R.E.S.P.E.C.T. – Respecting yourself as a manager, building a culture of respect within your team and dealing with disrespect if it arises
The Veterinary Sector has experienced a lot of change over the past two decades. Not only has the nature of Veterinary employment changed in line with the operations of many employers there is also a continuously evolving backdrop of social expectations on all businesses. With more women than ever before in management positions in the Veterinary sector, a greater diversity within the employee mix and an increased level of legal risk associated with employment, it is more important than ever that managers and practice owners are confident in how they manage their people, and how their people work together. In this workshop, Hugh and Eleanor will reference their deep understanding of the Veterinary environment when explaining how you can find strength as a manager when setting expectations, how you can translate this respect into your organisation’s culture and effectively call out bad behaviour if it arises.
