Thank you to everyone who assisted on the TURF National Occupational Framework this year. Turf has been given a second opportunity to validate What people need to do and know to be successful in Turf Production.
As you may recall, the key roles in a farm operation are:
- Farm labourer – entry
- Farm worker – experienced
- Supervisor
- Manager
WHY is your help critical? Besides ensuring it’s accuracy, these are tools are being developed for your sector…find out what experts like yourself have identified as best practices and expectations. They serve as a benchmark against which to recruit, select, train and develop employees.
Four surveys have been prepared. Please complete one (or more) of the surveys – each survey focuses on one of the four roles. What is really important is that the person completing the survey has an in-depth understanding of what an employee needs to know and do to be successful, so please forward this invitation to your staff as well.

Farm Worker: http://fluidsurveys.com/s/CAHRC/Turf/FarmWorker/
Supervisor: http://fluidsurveys.com/s/CAHRC/Turf/Supervisor/
Manager: http://fluidsurveys.com/s/CAHRC/Turf/Manager/
Each survey will walk you through two documents:
- National Occupational Standard: a list of the tasks organized by major task areas – representing what the person needs to do
- Competency Profile: a collection of competencies and related observable behaviours required to successful carry out the identified tasks.
Each survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. It is highly recommended you complete it in one sitting however, if you get interrupted you can finish it later as long as you are the only person using your computer.
Note: The survey will be available online from December 7 to December 21, 2016.
Thank you again for your valuable input!
