Motivating and Rewarding Staff

Labour is often one of the biggest sources of complaint on dairy farms. However, having a motivated team that works hard to achieve high levels of business performance ultimately comes down to making them feel valued and empowered. That means listening to their individual motivators, investing in their skills and creating a positive working environment. Do that, and people will work hard and stay working for you. It will also set you apart as a good employer and attract the right people in the future.

This dairy insight looks at the opportunities to empower and motivate staff on your farm and explores different ways to reward good performance.
