Advice on disciplinary processes
Five short videos giving advice on disciplinary processes can now be watched by BVA members as part of their membership package.
The expert-led videos are aimed at both employers and employees, and explain the recommended procedures, in the hope that both parties remain well-informed and fair throughout the process. Advice includes when to give a warning to an employee and how to prepare for a disciplinary hearing.
Each video uses a case study, highlighting the different stages of the process, showing what the stages mean, and helping both employes and employees to prepare for them.
Robin Hargreaves, Chair of the BVA Members Services Group said, 'There is evidently a need for such information and I hope members of the veterinary team check the whole range of free employment resources BVA members can access before paying for external legal advice - it might not be needed.'
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
