Personnel policies serve multiple purposes.
Regularly scheduled performance evaluations provide the framework for the employer to assess how the employee is working. Feedback on performance is important to the employee. Scheduling evaluations and having a format provides consistency.

Have you been intending to put down on paper the vision for the future of your farm?
Without a vision of where you want your farm business to be, you may feel stuck or frozen, because you do not have a sense of direction. Your employees will consciously or unconsciously key into this.
What are your personal values? When was the last time you intended to really think about what is important to you?
Your core values are reflected in your farm's goals and vision.
Your farm policies and procedures, including the personnel policies also reflect your values and goals.
