Inside Dairy April 2020

Going to DairyNZ levy-sponsored events has resulted in significant gains for our business. Among other things, these events have helped to keep me on top of changes to law and dairy operations, provided training and support, and given me the knowledge to improve things like human resources systems with better contracts and rosters. As a result, our team is more involved and more driven to achieve seasonal goals.

“I left the two-day course feeling that I could really make positive changes for our business.”

A Business by the Numbers short course, run by Dairy Training Limited (DTL, a DairyNZ entity), enabled me to understand financial information and was a starting platform to show Dairy Women’s Network members how to make and track a budget and how to use that information to grow their businesses. I left the two-day course feeling that I could really make positive changes for our business. Through the support of DairyNZ and other partners, these events provide a framework to help teams grow and develop. The amazing resources on DairyNZ’s website and the DairyNZ publications empower Dairy Women’s Network members to carry on learning, and this ultimately benefits our sector.
