We dont have a skills shortage problem we have a workplace culture problem

Yesterday I attended a forum for business leaders who had been invited to have input into the RAI Rebalancing the Nation – Regionalisation Consultation Paper 

There was a comment made by an expert in the skills training space that resonated with me

“we don’t have a skills shortage problem per se we have a shortage of workplaces with the culture that people want to work in”

Last night I hosted a workshop for 15 of our Young Farming Champions facilitated by leadership culture expert Cynthia Mahoney 

The conversations around the table indicated we have a lot of work to do in agriculture on our CULTURE. What is exciting is these young people are investing their time as life long learners to help us get it right
