We're New Zealand. Agriculture is our culture - it's the Pulse of our nation.
This Farmers Weekly NZ story cuts right to the heart of what AWDT is all about - we think it’s a must read.
We are thrilled to see It’s all about YOU graduate Sue Fish putting ‘people-first’ business models into practice.
Alongside partner David, they’ve defined the ‘Westmorland Estate Way’ - a set of people-centred policies that create all-round respect, prioritise career development and ensure their people feel valued.
There are some excellent examples in here of genuine people policies with proven results, like:
- Tetramap - learning about each other’s strengths and mapping the best responsibilities for everyone.
- Flexible rosters to avoid burnout.
- Supporting employees to attend industry conferences and training.
- Employee awards.
- Acknowledging mistakes as a team responsibility and staying well clear of ’blame’.
It all combines to make their motto a lived reality - ‘together we succeed’.
