VET RECUITMENT SURVEY REVEALS SURPRISING RESULTS

“Friendly staff and team” was voted as the number one quality that would make a Practice an employer of choice, according to an in-depth independent survey, commissioned by veterinary recruitment consultants, Rig Vets, with “good hours/rota” and “competitive salaries/package” jointly filling the number two position. Conversely, the main reason for leaving a job was career progression, but again with “improved hours/rota” in the second slot, alongside another personnel related issue of “internal conflicts”.

 “Whenever surveys like this are undertaken in whatever industry, there is often an expectation that the remuneration package will be the most important motivator,” he commented, “but good working conditions, and in particular friendly colleagues, feature higher, which should be good news for those looking for recruit new staff. A friendly atmosphere and a company culture of teamwork will go a long way to attract and keep staff. Losing staff is obviously costly both in the loss of the past investment made in the now leaving employee, and in the time having to interview and hire any replacement staff. Not to mention potentially affecting the morale of the remaining working team.
