UK employers need to manage their HR correctly, and this is no different for veterinary practices.

Whether you need to manage employee shifts, or handle a staff member with a bad or negative attitude - the veterinary sector comes with a range of HR issues. However, not making HR your number one priority could lead to non-compliance, which might lead to a breach of contract and legal damage. But how do you ensure compliance when you’ve got little HR experience?

That's where Peninsula comes in.

Many veterinary practices across the UK work with us when it comes to outsourcing their HR, especially if they don't have HR professionals. Our services include:

By working with Peninsula, we take the hassle of HR off of your shoulders. So instead of managing human resources, you can carry on doing what you do best - providing the best care in your veterinary clinic.

Working in the veterinary profession can be fast-paced and emotionally stressful, not only do you feel the strain - but your employees do too.

Giving customers difficult or upsetting news, working long shifts, and being on their feet all day can hurt both their physical and mental health. This means your employees may not know where to turn for their stress management. In extreme cases, they might even suffer from drug and alcohol abuse.

As their employer, it is your responsibility to protect their mental and physical health whilst at work. But between juggling your own responsibilities, how can you uphold employee wellbeing?

That's where we come in. By choosing Peninsula to outsource your HR, our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) can be added as an optional extra to your package.

So, when your employees face problems in either their personal or working lives - we're here to support them. Our EAP service includes:

It's just one of the many benefits you can experience when working with Peninsula.

When running a veterinary practice, your employees require a wide range of skills. From curing sick and injured animals, to speaking with the general public, or booking appointments.

Most of the time, everything in your veterinary clinic will run smoothly, but HR issues can occur when you least expect it. For example, your HR department can have trouble with:

As we know, these are common issues for most businesses. But can be particularly relevant in a veterinary practice - and not having a specific HR team can make managing these issues even  more difficult.

That’s where Peninsula can help.

By working with us, you'll have full access to our 24/7 advice line, available 365 days a year. So matter the size of the issue or the time of day it occurs - we're on hand to support you.
