Burnout Is a Systems Failure: The HR Blueprint for Retaining Veterinary Teams

In this episode, Adeesha sits down with Kara Kelley to unpack the people's side of veterinary leadership. They explore why burnout cannot be solved with surface-level perks, how better compensation and flexible time off drive retention, why personality assessments should not be misused in hiring, and what practice owners should do when a high performer is damaging team culture. The conversation also covers how to protect morale during acquisitions and why clear, consistent communication is the foundation of every healthy practice. As a bonus, Kara has also shared a free resource with our veterinary community: her Alignment & Accountability Check-In Packet, a practical tool to support growth, feedback, and stronger team conversations.
