From Toxic to Terrific: Cultivating Wellbeing in the Veterinary Workplace

Virtual (October 2024) 

You're likely no stranger to toxic workplaces. Whether you've experienced it firsthand or seen it affect colleagues, you understand how detrimental it can be.

The good news is toxicity isn't permanent — it can be reversed. Our upcoming program, From Toxic to Terrific, delves deep into research-backed strategies for transforming workplace culture. Let's work together to elevate our veterinary practices and profession!
