Why employees stay – Prof. Larry Firkins

Welcome to our Meet the Expert podcast, a series on swine Health and Management brought to you by Boehringer-Ingelheim and Pig Progress, where Global opinion leaders answer your most relevant practical questions.

A very relevant question in the pig industry: Why do employees stay? And why would they decide to leave? It’s all about paying enough attention to these matters – and it is exactly this type of question that got the interest of emeritus professor Larry Firkins, attached to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a veterinarian who developed a special interest in management matters and how culture in a pig-related work environment can help building a more pleasant work atmosphere.
