Cameron Henderson Reappointed Unopposed as DairyNZ Deputy Chair
DairyNZ deputy chair Cameron Henderson has been re-appointed unopposed for another term.
DairyNZ lead advisor for people, Jane Muir says now is the time when dairy farmers are preparing to get more staff on-farm before calving season kicks off, so the levy body is encouraging farmers to get their job vacancies online as the sector gears up to recruit.
“Many farms continue to be short-staffed, so the upcoming GoDairy campaign will help connect committed Kiwis with available on-farm jobs, sending active job seekers to Farm Source to apply for roles,” Muir says.
New Zealand dairy farmers can list their job vacancies for free at nzfarmsource.co.nz/jobs.
“Having all current vacancies listed online helps jobseekers understand what jobs are available and help them see which ones look like a fit for them,” Muir says.
“Job advertisements are a great opportunity to highlight what makes your farm unique and a great place to work, and to give people a sense of your vision and values so they get a feel for what it might be like as part of your team,” she adds.
The GoDairy campaign advertisements are designed to encourage people to consider a career change, by highlighting the lifestyle and job opportunities dairy has to offer.
“GoDairy is helping attract Kiwi workers to start a dairy career, to continue building a sustainable and thriving dairy sector, and ultimately helps reduce the current workforce shortage,” says Muir.
