Veterinary team building with footballeven for sports haters

If your veterinary staff isn't into the idea of a barbecue or rolls their eyes at the prospect of a karaoke outing, Fetch dvm360 conference speaker Brian Conrad, CVPM, has another idea for spirited team building: A weekly football poll.

It's simple: Print out the game matchups each week and have employees predict the winners. There's no money involved; the one who picks best just gets a small prize-and the right to talk trash the following week.

So, whether they scrutinize stats or select based on uniform color, Conrad's teammates simply enjoy the process.

(Brian assured us off camera that it's not necessarily a requirement that employees favor his beloved Seattle Seahawks.)
