Recent veterinary research reveals that as many as 50% of veterinary team members may be experiencing burnout. Tackling burnout in the veterinary profession requires a deeper understanding of its complexities. In this episode, we explore innovative ways to measure and address burnout, drawing on recent research and insights from Dr. Andria Jones, a researcher at the Ontario Veterinary College.
We discuss the four burnout profiles identified in veterinarians: engaged, ineffective, overextended, and burnout, along with a brief look at the disengaged profile. Each profile highlights unique challenges and opportunities for intervention, emphasizing the importance of personalized approaches to wellbeing.
Listen in as we delve into effective strategies for fostering engagement, reducing overextension, and implementing systemic changes to combat burnout. Whether you’re a veterinary professional, manager, or leader, this episode offers valuable insights to help create a healthier, more resilient workplace for everyone.
