Many of which all employees are involved with. I feel that they are successful as leaders because they are able to direct a staff of often more than two dozen employees, to the desired outcome with few hitches. I think it is nearly impossible to perfect communication, but we are constantly striving to improve it at the Victorian Veranda. Because the owners live on site and are there nearly all the time, feedback can be received almost instantly. I can safely say I have never worked at another job where I have been so motivated.
Employees are very well taken care of.
Many employees are KU students, and while I have been at the farm, several employees have had a pet and was no longer able to take care of it, in each instance the farm adopted the animal and has been guaranteed a good home. I can t think of many employers who would do that for a worker. Employees are often taken out for to eat, get to go on small trips with the owners, and have even been invited to parties thrown at the farm for outside groups. Last summer when Bev left for a week to go to her high school reunion, Rob decided to put in a swimming pool to surprise her. All the employees, the farm help, the housekeeping staff, the barn staff, and myself worked to finish the pool before Bev returned.
