When you genuinely want to give your team a pay rise but don’t know where you’re going to find the extra $$, turning them down is a horrible feeling. Turning down requests by staff for a pay rise is never easy – especially during high inflation ties like we’re in right now. Similarly, increasing fees is never easy either – especially when you’ve been trying to protect your clients from rising costs by absorbing fee increases without passing them on. On the one hand you have the worry of the possibility some clients may not be able to afford to treat their animals and on the other hand, you want to pay your team more. But HOW do you increase your fees in a way that’s a bit easier for your clients to accept? How do you make an increase more palatable? In episode 117 of Paws Claws & Wet Noses, VetStaff’s Julie South puts on her marketing hat and shares 10 different ways to help make fee increases a bit more palatable for clients. It doesn’t mean they’ll “like” a fee increase (who does, right?) but it’ll be a somewhat easier pill for them to swallow. Incorporating all ten ideas is definitely the way to go, but do what you can with what you’ve got right now. If you’d like to have a chat with Julie feel free to email her at [email protected]. Showcase your team’s professional credentials This is something we’re all passionate about at VetStaff. You NEED to start with showcasing your professional skills. It’s your team’s skills and expertise are two of the ways you can distinguish your clinic from the clinic down the road.

5 ways AI is helping seniors now! In a world where technology is rapidly advancing, one of the most heartwarming applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is in the realm of elderly care. Here's how AI is improving the lives of our older adults: 🏥 Healthcare: AI algorithms are revolutionizing healthcare by providing personalized treatment plans. These systems can analyze medical history, monitor vital signs in real-time, and predict health risks with astonishing accuracy, ensuring timely and effective care for the elderly. 🏠 Home Assistance: AI-powered smart homes are no longer a thing of the future. They offer voice-activated assistance, automated lighting, and temperature control, making daily life safer and more comfortable for older adults. These smart systems can also alert caregivers in case of emergencies. 📺 Social Connection: Loneliness can be a significant issue for the elderly. AI-driven platforms and social robots provide companionship and engagement, bridging the social gap. They can initiate conversations, play games, and even remind users to connect with family and friends. 🧠 Cognitive Health: AI tools are being developed to help maintain cognitive health. Through engaging brain games and memory exercises, these tools can slow down the progression of cognitive disorders and improve the overall mental well-being of older adults. 👁️ Visual and Hearing Aids: Advanced AI algorithms are enhancing visual and hearing aids, making them more responsive to the environment. This leads to a more natural and immersive experience for those with sensory impairments. As we embrace these innovations, let’s embrance the notion of human enablment rather than replacment. AI in elderly care is a shining example of how we can use cutting-edge technology to nurture and improve the quality of life for our older generations. #seniorcare #seniorliving #techforseniors Jonah West Zach Davison Huy Huynh
