#19 - How to Attract and Retain Good Dairy Farm Employees - Miguel Garcia

36 minutes

How much sleep does parlor supervisor Miguel Garcia lose at night, worrying whether or not employees will show up to milk at Double P Dairy in Marathon City, Wisconsin? None. We talk about culture, reputation and the gesture Miguel says is more powerful than a pizza party for motivating employees and getting 8-minute turns on their new 60-stall rotary parlor on this episode of the Nedap High-Performance Mindset Series.

What you’ll learn:

Attracting good employees in a competitive labor market

Hiring for attitude, not experience

What employees want from their workplace

Why Miguel says money matters
