How to Become an Agribusiness Employer That Job Seekers Want to Join
The next year's capital expenditure budget is important, but so is your company's ability to attract and keep talented workers in today's competitive market. The culture of the company, the total compensation package offered, and how the value of "what they get" is communicated to employees are all important factors in keeping current team members and attracting new ones.
Let's look at some of the ways you can revamp your agribusiness into a top employer of choice.
Think about safety
Most of us know someone who has been hurt in a farming accident, which is a shame. A few years ago, a member of my own family was in a very bad accident. The National Institute for Occupational Safety (NIOSH) says that 374 farmers and farm workers died from injuries related to their jobs in 2012. About 167 people who work in agriculture get hurt everyday and can't go to work.
Safety is an important thing to think about if you want your agribusiness to have an environment and culture that people want to join. When looking for people to work in agriculture, it can help your business stand out if you let candidates know right away that safety is important to you.
