816-383-5152 or sstannard@angus.org Agricultural Employee Management Seminar Set In
the ever-changing agricultural industry, employees are one of the most
valuable resources; however, managing a variety of people is often an
overwhelming task. Employee
Management for Production Agriculture is a conference designed for all
agricultural managers, from mid-level or unit managers to human resource personnel. The conference is set for Oct. 11-12
at the Kansas City Airport Marriott.
Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and
Cooperative Extension Service along with the National Cattlemen’s Beef
Association and National Pork Board are sponsoring the two-day event. In
a recent American Angus AssociationSM
report, Priorities First, Identifying
Management Priorities in the Commercial Cow-Calf Business, labor
management was ranked as the eighth highest priority among successful commercial
cattle producers. Both hired and
family labor ranked as equally important components, emphasizing the
management and retention of labor to an operation. An
employee management conference of this type is designed to give insight to
managers on coping with the challenges and opportunities of managing
employees in today’s environment.
It is an ideal setting for managers of hired employees and for
families working together to learn how to work more efficiently. Conference
registration closes Sept. 26; registration is just $150 per person for the
first two employees from one firm or operation. Group rates are available if more than
two people attend. A room block
is available at the Marriott.
Call it directly at 816-464-2200 to reserve your room. For
