How Do I Find and Keep Skilled Workers?
Your workforce makes the difference between success and failure – get the right people with the right skills to ensure success
80% of turnover is a result of hiring the wrong person
Hiring workers is one of the most important business activities. When you hire motivated, committed, and qualified people, it helps your operation to achieve its goals. When you hire the wrong people, it can affect productivity, profitability, turnover, and workplace morale. By following these best practices, you are more likely to find, hire, and keep people with the right skills. Which can help save you time and ensure the success of your farm or business.
This module contains insights, tips, and tools you can use to find and hire employees as well as information on the steps you can take to bring them onboard and ensure that they will stay on as employees. Whether it’s someone who has worked in agriculture before, or someone new to the industry, these tips and tools will help you to better set the new employee up for success (e.g., increase their confidence, satisfaction, and understanding of what they need to do to help the farm or business be successful and at the same time be safe).
In addition to hiring the right people, it’s important to follow the right process for hiring them. When the hiring process is fair, consistent, and well documented, you eliminate the risk of facing expensive discrimination and human rights claims.
