Speaker 2 (00:15):
And the Beef and Lamb Slot. This afternoon, we are
catching up with Nick Costa, his general manager for Number
eight HHR, who are bringing a workshop down south in
conjunction with Beef and Lamb on October the eighth. Nick,
welcome to the Muster House as good and tell us
all about Number eight HR. What what's ago?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, yeah, Andy, We're a twenty year plus people performance business.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
So we we operate in a few areas.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
One of them is the training and leadership development and
then also recruitment and end HR. So yeah, we're across
across New Zealands in your big partner of the Dry
Stock and Dairy Tiger.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
So it's all about the bestiment of people, likes of
mindset and that is that what you guys are all
about with your workshops.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, we believe they kind of go hand in hand
with business performance. So you know, a healthy, healthy business
means you know, healthy community. So if we get the
people thing right and support the right you know.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Things on farm, then you know it all flows through
to the right places.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
So that includes well being and and you know growing
ultimately the leaders in these communities.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, leadership is a big thing. I had met wod
On earlier to start the program and he's a big
believer Nick and just having the right mindset and going
about jobs in the right manner, you know, And it's
just it's every day life on the farmer suppose. But
it all starts in the top three inches right.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Totally, And farming quite unique, isn't that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
As we get seasonality, we get pressure points, and we
live in our businesses, so it's it's it's hard and
so so you know, investment in that, in that mindset
and in leadership and people's spaces is worthwhile, we think.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Do you think that people can overthink things too much,
especially at this time of year?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah, yeah, I think it's all about planning, planning, right,
So the less you have to think, the better.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
So if you're well set up then then that always helps.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
But you know, it's always it's always the case when
you're out there and you know, sometimes in isolation and
you're a leader, which you know can be those quite
lonely roles.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, the the brain can keep can go pretty fast,
can't it.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
So what would you see as the challenges that are
facing the real sector that have the biggest bearing on
things at the moment.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, there's a few drivers that we're seeing at the moment.
You know, farms are getting getting larger. In teams as
a result, they're getting larger. So the biggest challenge that
you know, we see leaders have is that they technically
you know, excellent and then they move into these leadership
roles and it's actually a brand new toolkit that comes
with that transition.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So that's that's been an.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Ongoing challenge and it's getting getting harder as teams get
bigger and you know, the timing around what needs.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
To be done on farm at you at the right time,
it sort of sort of grows as the consequences kind
of get higher of getting that wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So that's a really big, you know, a really big
piece and that you know, while things are looking you
know a little the horizons looking pretty good, and our
kind of primary sector is investment in those areas.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Is So is that what people can expect if they
come to your workshop on the eighth of October.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, Yeah, So this workshop is we've been practicing the
kind of theories for the last fifteen years for this workshop,
and yeah, thet it's centered around adult learning, gets centered
around practical application on farm and creating a bit of
a peer group, which is often the biggest benefit. Right
(03:44):
You've got like minded people in the room going through
the same things that you're going through on farm, leading
your team. And it covers all the fundamental stuff communication,
performance management, some of the fundamentals of employment law and
those sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
So what happens on the day more or less like
people turn up and more from your perspective, what goes on?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, yeah, good Christianity to listen to the seven and
seven part series. So the first one eight October in
the wider Gare area and you know, for the for
the first first module, there'll be a bit of an intro, you.
Speaker 3 (04:20):

will be you know, a very it's a workshop, so
we'll be putting in the works and you know, there
will be lots of lots of breakout sessions and you know,
and and examples that are current drawn out of out
of what what happens on farm all the time. You know,
(04:44):
people are turning up late, not doing things in the
right way, you know that, that sort of thing. So
that there will be the general structure. We'll sort of
run from a nine am to three pm and with
a lunch break in the middle, and roughly two months
between each each series and each each workshop is designed
to build on the last one.
