It’s not easy for agribusinesses to find good employees and it’s often just as tough to keep them on board after they’ve been hired. This presentation will discuss steps that companies can take to compete for qualified front-line workers, including examination of current employee-recruitment and retention strategies, and development of a concise plan for going after the limited pool of candidates. Pursuit of untraditional methods of recruitment and retention for expanding and developing the talent pool also will be addressed.
