By following the campaign you鈥檒l find a range of development opportunities run by different organisations. We want to hear your story and experiences of leadership training and how this has helped both your business and personal development.聽
The Institute for Agriculture and Horticulture's labour market report recommends employers seek opportunities to develop personal leadership and communication skills in order to attract and retain staff.
The report found that nearly 75% of employers have not carried out any formal management or leadership training themselves in the last three years.聽
Just under 50% of people surveyed felt that all employers would benefit from leadership training.
We're supporting the #AgriLeadershipWeek campaign, which is a collaborative effort involving:
- Institute for Agriculture and Horticulture
- AHDB
- The Farmers Club Charitable Trust
- Institute for Agricultural Management
- Lantra
- MDS
- Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust
