• identifying staffing need/job description
• appropriate advertising strategy
• interviewing – pitfalls to avoid
• offer and ‘onboarding’ process
• personality styles - motivation through effective communication
• retention – how to keep best staff
• annual reviews
• top tips for building loyalty

Paul Harris has worked exclusively in the Agriculture sector for 9 years in recruitment - matching staff skills and personality profiles to farm businesses.

If you manage staff/are finding it difficult to recruit/tackling ‘staffing issues’ or are a family farm and want to work better together this workshop will undoubtedly provide you with the tools you need to improve your team performance.
