What Security Do You

Provide To Your “People”

With All The Uncertainty in

Pharmacy Today?

WITH the Governmentputting renewed pressures oncommunity pharmacy, I believethere would be no surprisethat there are a lot of nervouscommunity pharmacy employeesout there at the moment, aspharmacy owners look for areasin which to save.

Are their hours going to be cut

or will they even have a job at allin the pharmacy where perhapsthey have faithfully worked formany years?

You not only need to haveoutstanding people working inyour business, but you need themto feel secure within your teamor you risk losing them to otherindustries or to ill health.

Living with constant insecuritywithin the work place can behighly stressful. Some studiessuggest that living with jobinsecurity – “the fear of losingyour job” – can be more harmfulto your health than actuallylosing it!

An open and honestconversation with your staf

could go a long way towardsthem being on the same pageas you, rather than on therocky ground of uncertainty.Get alongside your team, betransparent and I believe you willreap the results.

Healthcare is always goingto be needed and valuedby the community - and it’syour “people” who will be thediference that will keep the

community coming back to you!
