Livestock Inspector of the Year Nominations Sought
King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management
Managing Farm & Ranch Employees is Going Virtual!
Webinar: September 17 & 18, 2020
KRIFM Managing Farm and Ranch Employees lectureship is going virtual! We will hold this lectureship September 17 and 18 via the Zoom platform.
An informal poll of ranch and business managers across the US identifies their #1 challenge – communication and managing people. Ranch resources do not self-manage, so managing employees is certainly as important as the stewarding of animal and natural resources. This lectureship offers tips and coaching for managers on topics like recruiting, hiring, retaining, and evaluating talented employees. Participants will assemble a preferred employer skill-set that enables leading employees to be productive team members, experience personal growth, and accomplish business goals.
This lectureship will be presented as a webinar. Registration at http://krirm.tamuk. edu/managing-employees/ is required. A link to the webinar will be sent to all registered attendees 10 days prior to the start of the event. ▫
