Supporting Your Workforce: NFU Employment Service at FBI 2025
)
As farming businesses continue to adapt to new challenges and opportunities, one of the most important assets on any farm remains the same: people. Whether it’s seasonal labour, permanent employees, or family members working on the land, having the right support in place to manage your workforce is essential.
At this year’s Farm Business Innovation event, the NFU is showcasing how its Employment Service can take the stress out of managing staff, so farmers and growers can focus on running their businesses.
The NFU Employment Service offers practical, reliable advice tailored specifically to the farming sector. From recruitment and contracts to managing workplace disputes, our dedicated team understands the unique challenges that agricultural businesses face. That means no generic HR solutions - just clear guidance designed to keep your business compliant and your team supported.
For members, the service provides access to expert advice via telephone or email, 160+ templated documents and a document checking service, the employment manual, and up-to-date guidance on employment law changes that affect farming businesses via a quarterly magazine and monthly newsletter.
With landmark changes on the horizon to be introduced by the Employment Rights Bill, including day 1 rights to claim unfair dismissal, sick pay reform, a ban on ‘fire & rehire’ and enhanced whistleblowing protections, having trusted advice on hand to ensure you stay ahead of the curve and avoid costly mistakes has never been more pivotal.
