Large herds are my specialty, and I have a wealth of experience in the management of stock and employees.
Consultancy must be profit driven. Profitable dairying means adequately feeding cows with the lowest cost resources available, not wasting feed, getting cows in-calf and being able to make this year and the following year profitable.
In terms of HR, staff needs to fit well to the job, be encouraged and adequately rewarded.  Individual or team conduct agreements can make a workplace more functional and enjoyable. If its got past that, private employment mediation can be helpful or if a PG has already been raised then you may need representation.
