Abstract

Labor management on today’s modern dairy is vital to farm profitability and sustainability. High performing teams pose many challenges to keep continuously raising their own bar, in order to achieve higher output per worker. Business culture plays the most important role in developing personal, career, and individual growth for today’s workforce. Like dairy farms there are no 2 vet practices identically the same, therefore it is not an exact science on the outcomes to be perfectly replicable. Managing a modern successful workforce is a constant moving target. These proceedings will discuss the key performance indicators of high performing teams, and how the role of the modern veterinarian can help farms succeed.
