Beyond Burnout: Building Sustainable Culture & Teams That Stay

Burnout in veterinary medicine is no longer just a personal issue, it’s a systemic one. In this honest and solutions-focused session, we’ll move beyond individual resilience to explore how veterinary workplaces can be redesigned for sustainability, not just survival. We’ll unpack the structural contributors to burnout, challenge outdated cultural norms, and explore how better alignment of values, leadership behavior, and team expectations can create environments where people actually want to stay.

Through thought-provoking questions and practical insights, we’ll explore the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and retention to leadership and navigating change. Whether you're managing a team, hiring new grads, or trying to build a better culture from the ground up, this session will help you think differently about what it really takes to support thriving teams in veterinary practice.
