The quality employers group concept in a rural community

Sharpin Richard

Executive Summary

The Clydevale Clinton Quality Employers Group has been set up to specifically meet the needs of our 20 plus dairy farmer members. In setting up the processes and procedures for the group we have endeavoured to meet critical employment standards in areas of our industry that often create problems. This has included: – Capping hours of work for fewer than 18s – Guaranteed standards of accommodation – Recommended/standard time on/off rosters We believe that for an employers group to work successfully, you need a group of like-minded go-ahead dairy farmers within a close geographic area who have seen the need to offer a better standard of employment terms and conditions for the current and likely future employment landscape. One of the key aims of this process is to put our members to the forefront of employers in our community – “To be Employers of Choice”.
