This week on the podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and veterinary practice manager Stephanie Goss tackle a great question from a friend and fellow practice manager. The discussion tackles what do we do when people on the team ask to leave before their shift ends? In this particular instance, it was a team member who has children and was asking to leave early to take their kids to sports practice on a regular basis. But their shift normally goes 2-3 hours past when they want to leave. This manager was asking “how do we balance work needs and the wants/needs of the team when it comes to scheduling conflicts like this?” Links: Upcoming events: https://unchartedvet.com/upcoming-events/ The Secret Sauce To Optimizing Workflow with Senani Ratnayake, RVT.
