Veterinary Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Soothing a Squabbling Staff

If you have a staff that squabbles often, that’s bad for your mental wellbeing. It makes you not want to walk through those doors in the morning, especially if settling the squabbles falls on your shoulders.

Try this – create a Word document with every staffer’s name on it, in a column with as much space between the names as possible. Print a copy of the list for each person on the team. At your next all-hands meeting or lunch, hand them out and tell everyone to write one nice thing about every person on the sheet – using their non-dominant hand. You collect the sheets and create gift bags – one for each team member – with the nice things people wrote about them in the bag.

Ahhhhhh…hurt feelings eased, at least for a while.
