To what degree do support staff feel comfortable raising concerns or pointing out errors in your workplace?

This week's Quick Poll takes a look at your team. How comfortable are they sharing observations, suggestions, or pointing out mistakes? When you're done taking the poll, visit the associated discussion on psychological safety in the workplace.

Last week, the Quick Poll took VINners back in time, to the days before veterinary school. Despite ongoing concerns around the veterinary debt to income ratio, of the 2100+ colleagues responding to the poll, just over 1/3 made their final school decision based on cost. Have you shared your experience yet?
