Vetstar has a strong focus on developing the ability and potential of every staff member and is committed to assisting the development of individual career paths.
The company sets aside a generous budget every year for training and staff education. As part of the development process, all staff members are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions and accept accountability for the results.
Generous Remuneration
Vetstar’s remuneration program rewards staff generously for their performance both as an individual and as part of the group. While initial remuneration levels are set in line with comparable market positions, salary levels are reviewed annually and increase as the rate of pay for the comparable market position increases. A key component of our remuneration structure is to recognise length of service and in particular the skills that staff develop from remaining within a role for more than 5 years. This means that by five years of service in a role a staff member will be paid a salary higher than the current average for the market position.
In addition to a competitive salary, Vetstar employees are entitled to an at risk performance reward that is measured on team performance and every Vetstar employee enjoys an equal share of the company’s profits when net profits exceed a determined and stated level.
The level of return is set each year to encourage strong performance whilst driving increasing efficiency, consistency in service and increased innovation.
“Each member of the staff is treated equally - there is no class difference between office and warehouse. In previous employment, due to high staff turnovers, the warehouse people were not entitled to birthday cakes or other bonuses offered to office employees. Being treated as an equal makes you more likely to stay on with the company, enjoy the work and really get involved.”
“I like the easy going atmosphere, the fact that I’m left alone to do my job and trusted in the decisions I make.”
“It is so unusual to receive such appreciation and praise from fellow employees - emails come from other departments acknowledging a great job, a quick reply or effort above and beyond the call of normal requirements. This doesn't cost the company any money and yet it encourages me to try that little bit harder.”
“I really appreciate the added bonus of profit share ….. it is really useful for my family when it is paid at Christmas time”.
“Profit share and the bonus paid to staff at Vetstar really makes me feel rewarded.”
“Some of the extras we enjoy are really generous bonuses, birthday cakes, gift vouchers for meeting targets, promotional stock, profit share, Christmas hams and … the list goes on.”
“I enjoy the job security and at the end of the day the pay packet is always appreciated - to be honest we all need to make money to live, so why not enjoy yourself while you go about earning.”
