Workplace culture comprises the shared attitudes, beliefs, behaviours, values and expectations that influence the way people work on farm. It is “the way we do things around here”.
Many of the factors that influence whether a workplace has a positive outlook are within the control of people who work on the farm.
For a workplace culture to be positive, the direction and actions of the business must be consistent with the core values of the people on the farm. The people must trust each other and be able to openly express and exchange ideas.
Steps that can be taken to improve your farm team culture:
Create a positive work environment
Foster collaboration in the workplace
Maintain a good work-life balance
Build your capacity to adapt to change
