New webinar series on ‘building great workplaces’
The session will explore practical tips to create a safe and supportive working environment.
The BVA has launched a free webinar series for veterinary teams offering practical tips for creating better working environments.
The series, Building Great Workplaces: Practical Tips for Veterinary Teams, kickstarts on Wednesday, 29 January at 1pm with a discussion on how to have more good days at work.
BVA junior vice president Rob Williams and VDS Training’s Carolyne Crowe will explore the key elements that contribute to personal wellbeing at work and share methods for creating open communication and inclusivity within teams. Those attending the session will also be able to count it as veterinary CPD.
It forms part of a new workplace accreditation scheme, Great Workplaces By BVA, which is designed to recognise and reward positive workplace culture across clinical and non-clinical veterinary workplaces.
Rob Williams said: “At BVA we are passionate about building a resilient and sustainable veterinary workforce. This webinar series is designed to help your team identify practical steps to improve your veterinary workplace and create a working environment that allows the whole team to thrive. We’ll be diving into the first session with lots of practical tips and strategies and I hope to see many of you there.”
Great Workplaces by BVA is the latest initiative by BVA to help tackle the ongoing recruitment and retention challenges facing the veterinary professions. The scheme is open to all workplaces, both clinical and non-clinical, highlighting workplaces that prioritise staff wellbeing and professional development.
