Employing people on-farm is more complex than ever. Between Fair Work compliance, Pastoral Award obligations, workplace safety and the expectations of today’s workforce, getting HR right can feel overwhelming — especially in farming and family business environments where “how we’ve always done it” no longer stacks up.
Farm HR: Creating Employers of Choice is a practical, farm-focused online workshop designed to help farm businesses strengthen how they employ, manage and lead their people, without losing sight of the realities of farming life.
Pinion Advisory works alongside farm businesses to build understanding of Fair Work requirements and the Pastoral Award, clarify pay and conditions, and improve confidence in payroll and employment obligations. The workshop covers how to develop clear job descriptions (for employees and family members), strengthening workplace health and safety awareness, and putting practical HR systems and documents in place that actually work on-farm.
Just as importantly, Farm HR Creating Employers of Choice focuses on the “people side” of farming — helping businesses define their employee value proposition, improve communication and leadership, and create a positive workplace culture where good people want to stay.
Key messages include:
- Compliance matters – but clarity and confidence matter just as much
- Clear roles, systems and expectations reduce risk and conflict
- A strong workplace culture is a competitive advantage in attracting staff
- Practical HR can be tailored to fit real farm and family business settings
If you’re ready to build a stronger team and a more sustainable workplace, Farm HR: Creating Employers of Choice can help.
