Wheeler Campbell has been noticing some innovative moves from farms around the area aimed at fostering a strong company culture. Here's the top-tips: 🌾 Treat every manager like they’re running their own farm within the business. This empowers them to take ownership, develop plans, and drive growth. 🌾 Invest in your people! From comfortable housing to opportunities for further training through programs like Primary ITO, making sure your staff feels valued goes a long way. 🌾 Have managers outline clear progression plans for the farm, including stock performance and budget management to drive success. 🌾 Monthly meetings between farm managers and the general manager keep everyone aligned and focused on common goals. 🌾 Investing in farm infrastructure, from fencing to effluent systems, not only boosts efficiency but also future-proofs the business. These strategies create an environment where staff are motivated and invested in the farm's success, transforming the company culture into one where everyone is part of the bigger picture. #WheelerCampbell #Feilding #Accountant #Accounting #BusinessAdvisory #Advisor

Throughout my travels across North America, engaging with thousands of farms, a stark reality has become even more evident to me: the divide between the highest-performing farms and the rest is widening. Yet, the differentiator is simpler than we might think. It is accountability. In my recent blog post, I discuss the necessity of accountability in farming. From succession planning to the intricacies of business strategy, accountability serves as the key to success. https://lnkd.in/gx_s5paF

While RAPs are a great way for enterprises to hit the Reconciliation road, sometimes it’s worth jumping the perceived guardrails and forging your own pathway. Thanks to Growing Country writer, Melanie Groves, for tracking down this inspiring story, and to Dalene Wray AM and Amy Brooks from OBE Organic®Australian Beef and Stockyard for showing us that the most meaningful Reconciliation journeys have no endpoint, rather they continually open up new possibilities and horizons for all. https://lnkd.in/gsQ_D8JF #reconciliation #reconciliationactionplans #grazing #firstnations

It was great to talk to Dalene and Amy again- some seven (ish?) years since I first did a short radio interview with them about OBE Organic’s very first Reconciliation Action Plan… It’s incredible to see how their work has evolved, going beyond the first formula of a RAP to paint outside the lines in finding ways to support Indigenous people and to get more diverse voices to the table.
