It's important that they know ahead of time what they'll receive. We want them to know they can rely on us. Inside the organization we try to emphasize quality of life. We believe employees should have fun and fulfilment on the job. We feel we should stimulate them, challenge them, give them opportunities to make decisions within their area of expertise, allow them to take risks and make some mistakes.
Many employees find it rewarding to be trusted enough to make important decisions.
We try to care about our employees and I think the benefits we've established for them indicate that. We keep working at ways to do things better than we did before. In onions our harvesting and storage techniques are quite advanced. We've done a lot of research on appropriate storage for chipping potatoes and we've established a very good reputation for baker potatoes. We were probably the first in our province to hydra-cool corn so we could get it to customers as fresh and sweet as possible.
