Have a good one-to-one with each member of staff, finding out the problems, and addressing them, can really help to move things forward. As always though, a lot of this comes down to management and leadership. If that&#39;s weak then everything else does tend to follow...</p> <p>Agree re the staff do - this can really help to give everyone a different perspective on things!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/143407?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 13 Jun 2013 12:12:30 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:a5605f9f-5d2d-4750-b252-14fd1a9c2b37Sal the 1st<p>[quote user=&quot;wilkoannie&quot;]Similar problems sal can I also pm you?
