Season's greetings: You can keep learning with TIAH over Christmas, but please note all enquiries will be picked up on January 5.

Many farmers and growers are finding it hard to recruit and retain the staff they need.

Recruitment and retention

You can quickly stand out from other employers by showing your dedication commitment to skills development and professionalism by becoming a member of TIAH.

We're working with agricultural colleges and universities across the country to help develop their young talent in-line with our professional, Capability Framework - ensuring they have the skills to thrive and the attitude to keep on developing their abilities once they complete their course.

Becoming a Group Member of TIAH shows those engaged, proactive young farmers, growers and new entrants that your business shares their values of continuing professional development - and this can help you stand out from the crowd when you're looking to employ new staff.

Also, by becoming a group member, you can set your team goals to develop their skills, recommend online learning and track their progress against those targets, too.

Lastly, you'll be able to download a report of their skill set, analyse how they've developed and update their records accordingly, showing them you're invested in their career, too.

All these steps can go a long way to building a good relationship with staff, helping them feel rewarded for their work and giving them more reasons to stay with your business.
