Every veterinarian has experienced burnout at one time or another. It is one of the biggest pressures on the industry, alongside student debt and suicide rates. After 12 years as an ER veterinarian, Dr. Ivan Zakharenkov was among the many veterinarians who are so burned out, they knew a change was the only option. After so many years fighting to save animals on the frontlines, Dr. Ivan made the switch from helping animals, to helping other veterinarians. He chose to create a company instead with the focus on helping vet offices prevent burnout in the workplace.   That's why he created Galaxy Vets- a veterinary group committed to providing access to care for pets when and where they need it while supporting the mental health and well-being of our healthcare teams.

Tara Mccarthy from galaxyvets.com & Melissa from conciergeelite.com discusses the story of Tara's professional journey, which started with working hard to get into veterinary school and then moving to New Zealand for an adventure. As a young mother, she had a dark patch, working long hours while raising two children. After returning to Canada and finding herself unable to find a work-life balance, deciding to leave private practice and switch to health and wellness consulting. Now works part-time from home, helping other people find balance. Tara reflects on her time as a veterinarian and how she eventually changed careers to become a teacher. She talks about the challenges of balancing work and life and recommends that people find ways to be happy at work. Humans are naturally pessimistic, and can lead to unhappiness in social media-driven environments. They also discuss the importance of happiness in one's professional and personal lives and recommend self-examining what makes someone happy. Tara also suggests ways employers can retain employees, including paying them more, providing more breaks, and recognizing employees. Finally, they talk about how technology is changing veterinary practices and how veterinarians are moving faster than other industries in adopting new technologies. This episode discusses the possible effects of a recession on veterinary medicine and how Galaxy Vets is trying to help its members by providing financial assistance, technology advances, and employee ownership. It also mentions that if you are looking for a change in your career or need help with your business, Galaxy Vets is always happy to help.

This shifted the power dynamic between employee and employer expeditiously, forcing employers to innovate and become more flexible in the approach to talent attraction and retention. COVID was a compelling case for staying ahead of the curve where talent is concerned; companies already remote didn't have to pivot quite as hard.
