Producers and Agri-Processing Companies - Attract and Keep your People!
You are an expert in your operation – so how are you doing in attracting and retaining your people? Take advantage of a no charge service offered by Alberta Agriculture and Forestry to review the people practices in your business. You will spend one day with an expert advisor to receive immediate coaching and ideas to build on your current people programs. You will also receive a confidential follow-up report outlining recommendations for your farming or processing business. Recommendations may be eligible for the Workforce Development Retention Improvement Grant. Contact Gerard Bos at 780-980-4222 or gerard.bos@gov.ab.ca for more information on how to get started.
