On Demand | THRIVE | Cultivating Safe Teams – Pilot Program Final Review

Free
In response to our 2021 Veterinary Wellness stakeholder research and broader industry discussions in late 2022, the AVA lead the THRIVE Cultivating Safe Teams Pilot Program. This initiative delivered psychological health and safety awareness training sessions to 714 individuals working in the veterinary profession across 50 workplaces.
This tailored, one-hour in-workplace training is fit for purpose for the veterinary profession and was made available free of charge for the pilot workplaces thanks to generous support from The Zoetis Foundation as well as industry supporters aVet, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Provet and Vet’s Choice.
The purpose of the program is to:
– Articulate the definitions of psychological health and safety, workplace culture and ‘safe teams’ for veterinary and animal health businesses.
– Provide evidence-based and strengths-based examples of a safe team.
– Inspire individuals to consider how they can help build a safe veterinary team through personal responsibility and accountability.
– Encourage practice leaders, managers, and entire teams to define and commit to cultivating a workplace that is safe, equitable and well.
After a successful Pilot Program between September 2023 and December 2024, this is your opportunity to be updated on the outcomes and future initiatives of the THRIVE Cultivating Safe Teams Program.

Testimonials
I hope that this pilot program can access greater funding so that it can be rolled out in as many Veterinary workplaces as possible. In an industry that can be considered low pay and high stress, we need to ensure the psychological safety and have the tools to support our up-and-coming Vets and Vet Nurses.Cultivating Safe Teams Pilot delegate
I found the workshop presented by Carly to be very informative and engaging. I believe the content is a necessity for all businesses to learn and was great to see the effort and passion put into creating safe workplaces! Also, a great reminder of the wonderful workplace I'm a part of and highlighted the improvements we can make as a team for it to be even better. I hope every business gets the chance to participate. Thank you THRIVE, team!Cultivating Safe Teams Pilot delegate.
