[QUOTE="Ben B, post: 8144794, member: 160527"] My advice is to scessfully employ people you need to be happy for them to do it their way. ie Whether you would feed one group first and then another and they do it the other way. A good employer wouldn't care as long as they're fed the right amount. I find people who struggle to get employees are generally people who say it's my way or the highway and cant be flexible with how a job is done. Ie bloke works for Dad and doesnt keep the tractors as clean as I like, but he shows up on time at work and does a very good job so it's not worth sacking him over that ( I know people who would). But also to be flexible with them ie they need time off give it to them you may have plans but if you are painful about it people won't stick around. Pay as well, as one bloke said pay peanuts get monkeys, I have heard of herd managers paid less than s##T kicking tractor drivers. Guess what they had trouble employing herd managers. For the right person, you pay not only for work but for reliability and dependability. You could pay them less but you may receive less. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
