Vet Clinic Employee Engagement Index QuestionsThe second of a multi episode series focussed on helping vet clinics retain the top performing vets and vet nurses in your clinic and then how to attract more vets and vet nurses just like them.Recent Employment Relations Authority determination around Restraints of TradeIf you’ve been listening to Paws Claws & Wet Noses for a while you’ll have heard me comment quite a few times that Restraint of Trade clauses can stand up in a court of law provided they’re worded correctly… just this week there was a high-profile case with a journalist who made the headlines – Tova O’Brien. O’Brien took the dispute to the ERA – the Employment Relations Authority – which involved a three-day hearing - after mediation failed. She lost her ERA case with her former workplace - and was ordered to pay $2,000.O'Brien contested a restraint of trade clause in her contract with Discovery, would prevent her from launching her new breakfast talk radio show at MediaWorks for three months.She argued to the ERA that her soon-to-be role as a breakfast radio host is not similar to her role as political editor on TV3.The contractual clause is based on the notion that O'Brien is teaming up with a direct competitor of Discovery's Newshub.The ERA ordered O'Brien to comply with modified terms of restraint of trade and to pay $2000 for "breaches of her employment agreement".Employee Engagement Index Questions / StatementsPride – or proud – your team takes pride in working at your clinicPlace – your clinic – proud to work at their place of employmentPossibility – they’re not considering other possibilitiesPermanency – they see themselves a permanent fixture for the next two or so yearsPropel – or propulsion - they’re personally propelled – internally motivated - to give their bestI'm proud to work at this vet clinicI would recommend this vet clinic as a great place to workI rarely think about looking for another job at another clinicI see myself still working at this vet clinic in two years' timeThis vet clinic motivates me to go beyond what I would in a similar role elsewhereVetStaffleading veterinary sector recruitment in New Zealand | veterinarians | locums | nursesDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
