We're winding down Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Week but that doesn't mean the work should stop here. CSRs are often the unsung heroes of a practice and when it comes to showing them they're valued, even a little effort goes a long way.

For this week and beyond, here are 6 ways you can make your CSRs day-to-day a little easier and show them how integral they really are to your operation.

What are some ways you've leveled up the work day for your team?

Today we're wishing a spectacular birthday to our Chief Financial Officer, Jeannie Bellsmith!

When she's not behind the numbers, Jeannie can be found cheerleading our team, spearheading projects, and bringing her extensive veterinary background to our braintrust.

Here's to a day filled with a little fun in the sun!☀️

Appreciation is often one of the most simplest things but can be really difficult to show. Go the extra mile and let your veterinary receptionists know how much you appreciate all they do.

We asked our team of operational and medical coaches their favorite ways they've seen CSRs appreciated this week. Steal the list to try some out and let us know what you'd add! 👇

Nomination Station is OPEN 🏆

It's Day ✌️ of Veterinary Receptionist Appreciation Week and we can't think of a better way to say "Thank you!" than by shouting it from the rooftops!

Nominate your CSR for a spotlight this week and share why they're the best in the biz. We'll shout out everyone who is nominated here on social media. PLUS, every CSR that is nominated will be entered to win FREE FIGS!
