Workplace Culture

Culture gets a lot of lip service but often very little attention.  We are experiencing a time of change in veterinary medicine. We have an increasing level of dissatisfaction amongst veterinarians and increasing rates of burnout, especially in veterinarians under 30¹. The business world is very aware of the importance of workplace culture. CEOs and CFOs of 1,400 North American companies were interviewed over a thirteen-month period for a Duke business school study. Ninety-two percent agreed that improving their workplace culture would improve company performance, and yet only fifteen percent thought the firm’s culture was where it needed to be.
