What Security Do You Provide To Your “People” With All The Uncertainty in Pharmacy Today?
June 23, 2014
WITH the Government
putting renewed pressures on
community pharmacy, I believe
there would be no surprise
that there are a lot of nervous
community pharmacy employees
out there at the moment, as
pharmacy owners look for areas
in which to save.
Are their hours going to be cut
or will they even have a job at all
in the pharmacy where perhaps
they have faithfully worked for
many years?
You not only need to have
outstanding people working in
your business, but you need them
to feel secure within your team
or you risk losing them to other
industries or to ill health.
Living with constant insecurity
within the work place can be
highly stressful. Some studies
suggest that living with job
insecurity – “the fear of losing
your job” – can be more harmful
to your health than actually
losing it!
An open and honest
conversation with your staff
could go a long way towards
them being on the same page
as you, rather than on the
rocky ground of uncertainty.
Get alongside your team, be
transparent and I believe you will
reap the results.
Healthcare is always going
to be needed and valued
by the community - and it’s
your “people” who will be the
difference that will keep the
community coming back to you!
