The Veterinary Hospital Managers Association (VHMA), an association dedicated to enhancing and supporting veterinary management professionals through education, certification, resources, and networking, has announced Starpath Consulting LLC, as a Silver Business Alliance Partner. Starpath Consulting specializes in providing veterinary-focused human resources, strategic planning, and leadership support to create practice cultures that promote employee, patient, client, and business growth. Business Alliance Partners work with the association to ensure that quality professional services are available to veterinary practices, managers, and owners.
Strengthening the veterinary practice
Veterinary practices are facing unique and unprecedented challenges. If managers and owners do not respond to these issues, the impact on the practice can be devastating. The services provided under the umbrella of human resources---strategic planning, employee satisfaction, hiring, performance management, and more---can enhance the employee, patient, and client relationship and strengthen business operations.
“The VHMA Business Alliance Partner Program provides an opportunity for veterinary industry stakeholders to join the VHMA as we work to provide outstanding resources and services to help our members manage their practices. Starpath Consulting, founded by VHMA member Carolyn Becker, provides the in-depth human resources support practices need to thrive,” said Christine Shupe, CAE, VHMA Executive Director.
“I am excited to work with VHMA, an association I know well and have the utmost respect for. Having worked in the field as a manager and in a human resources role, I understand the intricate challenges within veterinary teams, and am committed to helping practices achieve success,” said Carolyn Becker, CVPM, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, CVT.
