Who it is NOT for?
The HR Online Bootcamp for Agriculture is not simply going to "make HR go away". If that's what you are looking for, this program isn't for you.
If you think paying the money and doing nothing will result in compliance and culture change, this program isn't for you.
But if you are ready to take stock, make positive change and put some energy and effort into your HR in a supported and compliant fashion, then is then the program is for you.

What is the commitment?
To get value from the program, you will need to commit 3-4 hours per week for 6 weeks. This is an approximate time of how long it will take you to watch the content recordings, review the templates and apply the content to your business.
That being said, the more you put in, the more you will get out. During the program, the help and support is available to you to have questions answered and it is up to you to access the help and use the support on offer.
Don't have the time? While this program is aimed to be completed by business owners, managers and administrators, we get that many have a lot on their plate! Our team are able to provide administrative support to do the "heavy lifting" and step you through the process at an additional cost. This will still require input from YOUR team as it is YOUR business! Touch base if you are interested in a quote for this additional service.

FAQs
Click on the + to reveal the answers
| What if we have worked with Bec before? Or I already have a HR system? |
If you have previously worked with Bec as a consultant or through a training program, we would like to think you are on the right track. That being said, we are constantly working on new ideas and ways to ensure practical compliance. And sometimes our systems need a review and a reboot. We have also invested significantly in additional resources especially for the Bootcamp.
| If I sign up, can others in our business be involved in the program? |
Absolutely! The Bootcamp is about getting your business up to speed, not just the individual who signs up for the program. Engage the whole team, show them the recordings. A "go to" person (or two) for each business is useful for the coaching component, the Facebook group and the live webinars, but the idea is to get the whole team on board! And remember, we are also running a separate webinar, especially for staff.
| What happens after the program, how do we make sure we can keep up to date? |
We are invested in the long-term upkeep and progress of your HR system and don't expect to be a flash in your pan. We will continue to support you in two ways after your round of the boot camp is complete:
1. Anyone who completes the Bootcamp will be added to a closed, private Facebook group. This will create what we call a "community of practice" where we can all share ideas about HR such as legal updates, tips, tools, new ideas. We will discuss challenges and what motivates each other. We'll share new findings, learnings,resources and be a voice of reason. How much is that worth?
2. We are pledging to conduct a free webinar for previous participants of the Bootcamp every 6 months to keep you updated. This will only be for Bootcamp participants. If there is nothing to update, we will use the time to motivate or discuss the focus areas for the regulators.
| How long will it take me? I'm time poor! |
Everyone is time poor. This question is actually not about time, it's about priorities. If you are starting from scratch, yes, this program will require a few hours a week to be dedicated. If you are reviewing an existing system, it will be much quicker. Keep in mind that if you aren't finished when the Bootcamp ends, you won't miraculously loose access!
I do anticipate you will still have stuff to do at the end of the six-week delivery component of the Bootcamp. The coaching component may have come to an end, but access to support through the Facebook group as well as to the recording and templates will be ongoing. You may even choose to leave the "easy stuff" until after the program is over and fine tune the trickier stuff while you have access to the support.
We have designed the program in an efficient manner and cut out the crap so you don't need to troll through reems of files to find what you are looking for. It's there. Ready for you to customise and use. So, if you are time poor, this program may well be for you.
We have previously mentioned the additional admin support from the House Paddock team... that could be another option?
| What if I can't attend a webinar? |
The program is designed to be self-paced, recorded for you to watch in your own time. The live Q&A webinars will be at a set time BUT they too will be recorded for you to watch. In addition, you will also have access to the portal for six months from the start of the program. At the end of that time, you can simply download whatever you want to continue to have access to.
| What state is it for? |
The majority of HR provisions are harmonised nationally – this means it is the same across all states and territories. There are a few differences between states (such as long service for example) but these will be identified throughout the program. So... we welcome participants from all states!
| What industry is it designed for? |
Generally we will focus on agriculture throughout the program and the issues, concerns, risks and requirements of all farming business. We have a wealth of specific information for irrigated and dryland cropping and livestock and lots of info for the intense industries like horticulture, lot feeding etc.
We will also work with someone from a specific industry to meet your specific needs. The idea of the Bootcamp is to give YOU the tools to manipulate OUR content to meet YOUR business needs. This means that any industry will significantly benefit from our Bootcamp.
| Surely I don't need this? My business is only small... it's only my family and a couple of others? |
It doesn't matter how big your business is, you want to position yourself to attract and retain staff. Even if you only have one or two employees, and maybe some contractors or casuals on occasion, you really do need to make sure you have some basic systems in place to ensure you are meeting requirement.
| It's not cheap.......eeeeekkkk! |
Nope, it's not cheap. It's quality and it's peace of mind. It's 15 years of curating a package. It's one on one support. It's ongoing support. It's templates and efficiency.
It's incredible value to protect yourself, your team and your business... but cheap? Nah, not cheap.
We are happy to be known for value and the superior quality of our package.

"Learning about HR with House Paddock training was the most fun I have had in a course in years".
Bec Fing's presentation of this heavy subject was interesting and fun! Bec is exceptionally good at engaging with everyone and creating an program that is safe so that any question can be asked without judgement. This helps participants to create a clear understanding of the content and you leave the course feeling confident and ready to tackle the challenges that have been presented themselves to you in your business.
Bec understands farming and implements her programs and training to focus on rural businesses to ensure that each participant can obtain maximum knowledge and understanding from the course. I would absolutely recommend Bec Fing and the House Paddock Team when looking to undertake any training requirements.
STACEY STORRIER, RIVERVIEW FARMING, HILLSTON
"With Bec's help, we are moving from a team of champions, to a champion team - improving systems, planning, reporting, productivity and ultimately - our profitability".
Bec has helped our business improve our HR systems immensely. From policies and procedures to recruitment and establishing a great workplace culture, Bec knows her stuff. She is practical and to the point - she can relate to all members of our team. Bec first takes a big picture approach to ensure everyone is on the same page, and then drills down to the nitty gritty.
