In this episode, we address a crucial topic: successful onboarding. We all know how important it is to make new team members feel welcome and part of the team early on. Despite all the time and energy spent hiring the right people, we sometimes leave them to sink or swim. It’s essential to remember that people want to work with colleagues they like and can grow with. That’s why the first few days and weeks for a new hire are critical to ensuring they feel valued and want to stay.
Our guest is Addie Blair, a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager (CVPM) and Chief Operating Officer for Veterinary Management, Inc., where she oversees eight practices. Addie’s journey in the veterinary profession began back in high school, driven by her passion for helping animals and their owners. Over the years, this passion has evolved into helping others in the industry realize their dreams. Addie is dedicated to fostering growth in others, and she shares her insights on effective onboarding.
