What does your clinic call the first 90 days of employment? A probationary period, onboarding, or something else? This week on The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, challenge one of the most ingrained (and, according to our hosts, outdated) terms and concepts in veterinary employment: the “90-day probation.” Dr. Ward and Beckie unpack the emotional, legal, and psychological implications of labeling new hires as being “on probation.” They explore how the language itself can erode trust, safety, and belonging, especially for veterinary technicians and support staff who may already feel undervalued. Citing insights from thought leader Amy Newfield of Vet Team Training, they argue that onboarding should be a process of mutual trust-building and skill development, not testing or punishment. The discussion moves beyond terminology to the real heart of the issue: leadership mindset. Should employers still rely on a fixed 90-day cutoff, or should they focus on continuous feedback, structured onboarding, and open communication from day one? Whether you’re a clinic owner, manager, or new hire, this episode will change the way you think about the first 90 days, transforming it from a probationary “trial” into the foundation of a lasting, supportive workplace culture. #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetClinicLife #VetTeamTraining #Onboarding #EmployeeEngagement #PsychologicalSafety #ContinuousFeedback #HealthyWorkplace #VetWellbeing #CultureOfTrust
