Ever wondered why more than 40% of workers without a mentor have considered leaving their job in the last three months, compared to just 25% of those who do have a mentor? Curious about how a well-structured mentoring program can demonstrate your commitment to your team's growth, leading to higher levels of engagement and loyalty? Tune in! We're embarking on a journey to unravel the hidden power of mentoring in veterinary clinics. We break down how mentoring, a timeless practice from ancient civilisations, can significantly boost your staff retention rates, enhance job satisfaction, and even improve patient care.

Don't think we're stopping there. We're spilling secrets on how to structure winning mentoring programs in veterinary clinics — from setting the frequency of meetings, training mentors and mentees, to setting clear goals and facilitating open communication.
