This week on the podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and veterinary practice manager Stephanie Goss weigh in on a great question from the mailbag. A practice manager asked “Our clinic has always paid good for our area, but we have never offered much in terms of benefits. I am losing great staff members because they can get retirement plans, more vacation time, better discounts, etc. at other practices in the area. What do you recommend I do (as a practice manager who can’t really put anything into place without the owner’s buy-in) to help show that we need to offer better benefits? How do you recommend a clinic add benefits to their employment package without breaking the bank?

Stephanie and Andy talked through some of the most common benefits to consider during the episode. But Stephanie also promised to share some of the outside the box and/or ideas she loved that don’t break the bank with you guys! Here they are:
