In this Veterinary Leadership Success Podcast episode, we're taking a practical approach to bring your practice's core values to life. Values aren't just words on a page; they're the foundation of a thriving workplace culture. Join us as we explore 10 actionable ways practices are integrating their values into their day-to-day operations.

We'll cover everything from weaving values into your everyday conversations, creating visually appealing vision posters that capture your values, using values to guide your recruitment process, and crafting job adverts that resonate with potential hires. Discover the power of asking interview questions based on your values to identify candidates who align with your practice culture.

As a leader, you'll learn how to invest time in your onboarding process, dedicating a portion to thoroughly discussing your values and what they look like in action. Moreover, we explore the impact of recognizing and rewarding individuals who embody your values, strengthening the culture you're building.

If you're ready to create a workplace where people and pets thrive, tune in to this episode and take the first steps toward transforming your practice's culture.
