Employers will find value in attending this session to find out more about how they can provide workplace support for the emotional toll of work while building psychological competency for job success in difficult situations. Interactions with coworkers and the public need to feel safe, build trust, and encourage curiosity. Psychological Protection: How does that help, what does that feel like? What is appropriate? Psychological Competencies: Emotional skills for optimal workplace performance

Develop a new perspective on a persistent workplace phenomenon. Psychological injury discussion, attitude, code of ethics, and employee accountability, discipline, and diversity considerations. Develop “emotional well-being at work” language to discuss workplace stress.
Psychological Safety Cultural Experience, Trusting Mistakes are Good for Business

Did you know that latex allergy can be triggered by direct contact or inhalation? Most veterinary practices use latex gloves. Latex products, especially gloves, release latex particles, which you can breathe in when they become airborne. The amount of airborne latex from gloves differs greatly depending on the brand of glove used.
Please keep this in mind when persons in the office (including staff and clients) report a latex allergy.
