A trend is emerging across the dairy industry, with some farmers becoming very professional in how they hire, develop, and lead employees. These farmers are highly aware that good employees are the most important asset for business success and that they may already be the scarcest resource available to farms. These professional human resource management (HRM) farms are consistently well-managed because they have excellent people in every position, and they are opening up a lead as they outperform other dairies who just can’t find or retain good people.
