NVA does provides little to no training for preserving mental health and preventing compassion fatigue to regional management or management within the hospitals. Having worked for other corporations, there is a visable lack of training with NVA. Given the known risks of this job it is shocking.
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was unremarkable and slightly misleading
What are some of the best things about your team?
All of my coworkers want what is best for our patients
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Lack of training of management. Techs and veterinarians are thrown into management positions without training. NVA has an opportunity to create training to support management and hospital staff but it does not seem to be a priority
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Adoption of certain standards across hospitals where policies and supports are in place to take care of the mental health of team members as well as boundaries for what is considered inappropriate client behavior and how to address them.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Creating a supportive work environment and educating all levels of the corporation (national leadership, regional leadership, local leadership and staff) on how to maintain mental health and prevent compassion fatigue. Including setting and respecting reasonable boundaries with clients & coworkers
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
For Veterinarians there is no paid time off. You can take time off but future earning are essentially docked by there pay structure. Disability insurance should be covered and there should be paid medical leave/personal days that are actually PAID not a deduction from future earnings.
