Today is Pink shirt day!!
91.3% of workers have experienced at least one form of bullying in the past 12 months. Frequently bullied workers are at least 10 times more likely to face job burnout, anxiety, or depression.
While this stat is for all industries, we know the prevalence of bullying in the veterinary industry is very high. Multiple studies have proven just how bad it can be out there. Change starts with everyone.
