In recent years, the veterinary profession has embraced a vital shift toward well-being, flexibility, and mental health. But are there unintended consequences when balance becomes the only priority?
In this provocative thought leadership session, Stacy Pursell (The VET Recruiter) and Dr. Travis Meredith will explore whether the modern workplace is now facing new challenges—like declining productivity, disengagement, and diminished ambition—as a result of over correcting from a culture of chronic overwork.
This webinar does not represent an official NYSVMS position, but rather offers a space for respectful, open dialogue around a timely issue facing the profession.
You’ll hear perspectives on:
- National workforce trends and what they may mean for veterinary teams
- How to maintain professional excellence while honoring well-being
- The evolving definitions of career growth, engagement, and contribution
- What leaders and associates can do to build sustainable, high-performing teams
This is not a call to abandon balance—but an invitation to explore where the line lies, and how we can get it right for the future.
