O Workforce Development Providing the Foundation for a Solid Workforce Our members’ human resources are their most valuable assets. That’s why Western Growers provides guidance to keep members informed and compliant on issues such as employment law, immigration and labor, employee benefits, health care reform, industry compensation, and more. Through Western Growers Human Resources and Legal departments, as well as the Western Growers University, members can gain access to valuable operations guidance, courses and certification opportunities. This past 2019 showed an increase in not only members engaging in these valuable resources, but an extension of the services offered across these divisions. Through Western Growers Human Resources and The Western Growers University, more than 500 members and their employees were trained to meet the demands of SB 1343, California’s Sexual Harassment Regulations, as well as participate in Management 101 courses to operate more efficiently, effectively and most important, become compliant with state regulations. Additionally, Western Growers H-2A Services provided members with turnkey solutions for foreign labor acquisition, handling all logistics and details throughout the process, allowing members to focus entirely on the success of their operations. Beyond those crucial efforts, Western Growers members also received access and invitation to more than fifty workshops, webinars and onsite events offered exclusively by Western Growers University and Western Growers H-2A Services covering industry-critical issues that included:
