HR Toolkit

Managing Human Resources on Dairy Farms 

In November 2008, DairyNZ released a new expanded edition of one of its most popular products, the HR Toolkit. It contains many updated sections, new templates and new articles and resources for farmers to use.  It also comes with a CD containing electronic files of the related templates.

The HR Toolkit is now FREE to all NZ levy paying dairy farmers.  It can also be purchased by non-dairy farmers operating in New Zealand for $175 (incl. GST). If you would like to order a hard copy of the DairyNZ HR Toolkit you can use this Online Order Form.
