I was in Cornwall yesterday delivering another People Management Workshop at the Lifton Community Hall. Helping farmers with change, managing their time more effectively and delegating to their teams! 👥👍 #farm #farming #agriculture #agri #teamreal #dairy #workshop

@armstrong_frost @ThrimbyFarms Good point, it’s easy to see scale as business growth

Mindset Shift #13 “I don’t need to provide an employment contract” or “A contract establishes clarity between staff and employer.” Essential terms and conditions are required by law on day 1 with full terms within 2 months. 📝 https://t.co/vnCpTrMU9J

[Paul Harris @paulharriscoach]

Mindset Shift #12 “Self-employed people are simpler and cheaper” or “I should establish the employment status of my staff to protect them and my business.” Staff with self-employed status working full time on a farm is a major HMRC risk. https://t.co/vnCpTrMU9J #farminguk #agri

@SFJoness @Berkshirekeeper This is exactly the ‘discussion’ we had along with how much is spent on tractors in comparison to other assets!

[Kate Harris @KateHarris77]

Busy day at #southwestdairyshow catching up with lots of people and discussing staffing, recruitment and retention of good people in our industry https://t.co/vXEYN0Ul22

[Kate Harris @KateHarris77]

@RJTFarming Sadly not 🙈 but stop by and say hello anyway 😊

[Kate Harris @KateHarris77]

Looking forward to catching up with lots of people at #southwestdairyshow tomorrow. If you’d like to chat about how we can help you recruit and retain staff I’ll be on stand B22 between 10.30 and 12 or drop me a DM to arrange a catch up

@leach_becki @LizHoggarth How can anyone possibly think that the best treatment for someone with serious mental health issues is to lock them in a room for days on end with nothing but their own thoughts - agree it was scary and horrific

Regular reviews with staff members can be a really positive process, don’t underestimate the importance of allowing them the opportunity to have their say

[Paul Harris @paulharriscoach]

Mindset Shift #3 “I don’t need reviews – I chat to my staff every day” or “I need to know what my team think and feel about the farm.” Commit to a once-a-year personal review process for all staff, including family members. https://t.co/vnCpTrMU9J #farminguk #teamdairy

[Paul Harris @paulharriscoach]

Mindset shift #1 “Labour is a cost I must reduce” or “Labour is an investment in our future.” Thinking needs to shift from staff being a ‘cost’ - to a ‘return on investment’ like investment in buildings, stock, and machinery. https://t.co/vnCpTrNrZh #farminguk #agriculture

[Kate Harris @KateHarris77]

What do you think are the biggest myths around labour shortages on UK farms….?

[Paul Harris @paulharriscoach]

My 15 'Mindset Myths' featured in my White Paper, around the labour shortage in farming, will be landing on our socials over the next few weeks. Along with ‘Mindset Shifts’ on how to change them.
