Why are staff so important?
• Every member of the practice team plays a vital part in
the success of the practice business
• So the quality of individuals working for the practice is
paramount
• How those individuals perform as a team defines how
effectively pets are treated and how well the practice runs
day to day
• Clinical quality plus quality through the eyes of the
customer
• No customers = no pets to treat = no job!

How to use with your team
•
•
•
•
First ask the 12 questions – yes or no answer
The 12 questions drive business productivity
Pick the ones you are falling down on – then fix it
Then repeat at least 2-3 times a year
• The team will then become confident and talk to you
about the areas they have concerns about
behaviour changing – market intelligence
Those who don’t fit…
• Regular appraisals document what has been agreed,
completed or consistently
• If correct training has been offered and completed yet
performance is still an issue – disciplinary action may be
necessary
behaviour changing – market intelligence
Discipline
• Must be consistent handling for everyone
• Very difficult to manage without up to date job
descriptions
• Verbal ‘we have a problem’ in private – sometimes all that
is needed
• Caution – slightly more serious – may be recorded
• Warnings – formal oral warning, then written with likely
outcome if offence is repeated
• Dismissal
• Outsource!
behaviour changing – market intelligence
Positive Discipline
•
•
•
•
Roles, rules and responsibilities
Regular appraisal and feedback
Effective communication
Rather than using reactive punishment outright – give
employee option to change
• Working together to eliminate negative behaviour
• Explores reasons for behaviour and solutions to rectify
• Employee is an adult with a problem to solve
behaviour changing – market intelligence
To summarise…
Each key business step involves a person
•
•
•
•
•
Each person has a role
Each person is part of a team
Each part has areas of responsibility
Each area has to communicate
Managers have to manage each effectively
IT MATTERS !!
