Landscapers are encouraged to book now for the Autumn APL Networking Seminar on Wednesday 22 October 2014 at Provender Nurseries, Kent to ensure they don’t miss out on the packed programme designed for landscapers to recruit and retain the best staff for their business.
At the previous seminar the hot topic of recruitment was highlighted and this time around the programme aims to delve deeper. The APL is aware that the landscape industry can often face challenges when hiring staff. Therefore, this autumn all landscapers and designers are invited to an evening focused on the best ways to recruit the staff most suited to your business and, most importantly, how to keep hold of them.
The seminar will explore the various options available to landscapers to recruit and retain staff and the business benefits they offer including training opportunities, apprenticeships and sub-contracting. Delegates will benefit from an evening full of industry expert advice complimented by first-hand accounts from APL members featuring Guy Moreton, MorePeople who will offer advice on various ways to recruit staff and Dan Lally, Slic Training to promote the multiple benefits of staff training.
Also, back by popular demand, the seminar will once again include an interactive panel session. This will feature a line-up of the heads of landscape courses from a range of colleges including Berkshire College of Agriculture to discuss their courses and answer questions in relation to how they train students and any improvements that can be made to encourage the younger generation in to the landscaping industry.
The evening event will run from 4pm-7.30pm and will also offer ample networking time for delegates to discuss the topics raised along with opportunities to interact with a variety of suppliers on hand to discuss your business requirements. Exhibitors include Everedge, Citation, Natural Paving, Woodblox, HTA Insurance Services, Melcourt Industries, Vectorworks, Bradstone and Viroturf (Juta UK).
