Toxic workplace culture. Silence. These aren’t topics we often discuss in animal welfare—but they should be. In Part One of this two-part interview, we’re joined by Kim Alboum , Director of Field Operations at BISSELL Pet Foundation, to discuss her powerful article, The Thing Nobody in Animal Welfare Wants to Talk About . Together, we explore why bullying continues to exist in our profession, the impact it has on individuals and organizations, and why creating healthier workplace cultures is essential if we truly want to help animals. This is an honest, sometimes uncomfortable, but incredibly important conversation that every animal welfare professional should hear. And just when you think we’re wrapping up… Kim turns the tables and asks us a question. Be sure to tune in next week for Part Two, where we answer Kim’s question, dive even deeper into bullying in animal welfare, respond to listener questions, and even ask AI for its perspective on one of the profession’s toughest challenges. Help people. Help animals.","meta_description":"Bullying. Toxic workplace culture. Silence. These aren’t topics we often discuss in animal welfare—but they should be.
