Staff Retention Problems
Is your multi-vet hospital losing good staff and you can’t figure out why?
Larry sees this pattern frequently.
You think you’re offering competitive pay and benefits, but good people keep leaving. Exit interviews don’t give you the real answers, and you’re tired of constantly training new staff.
Here's how Larry approaches this with you:
Larry starts by listening to understand the full picture. What are you hearing from departing staff? What patterns do you notice in who’s leaving and when? How is the remaining team responding to the turnover?
Then Larry digs deeper to identify the real causes.
Often, staff retention issues aren’t about money – they’re about culture, communication, growth opportunities, or feeling valued and heard.
Through team assessments and individual conversations, Larry helps you understand what’s really driving people away and what would make your best staff want to stay long-term.
You’ll work together to create targeted solutions – whether that’s improving communication systems, developing career growth paths, addressing toxic dynamics, or rebuilding trust with your team.
Because keeping good staff is always more cost-effective than constantly replacing them.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Larry starts every relationship with a conversation to understand your specific challenges. From there, he’ll recommend the right strategy that fits your situation and goals.
