Our Mission
At Groupement d’Employeurs Le Nard, our mission is to provide a structured, reliable, and legally compliant solution for agricultural employment, ensuring that local farms have access to the workforce they need while promoting stability, collaboration, and sustainability within rural communities. Our core purpose is simple: to meet the labor needs of our member farms efficiently, safely, and effectively, allowing them to focus on what they do best—agriculture.
Agriculture is a demanding and complex field. Farmers face fluctuating labor requirements due to seasonal work, crop cycles, and other factors. Hiring employees individually can create administrative, financial, and legal challenges, especially for smaller farms. Our association addresses these challenges by employing agricultural workers directly and assigning them to farms according to specific needs. This centralized system allows farmers to focus on production, planning, and innovation while maintaining access to a dependable workforce.
Key Components of Our Mission
1. Workforce Provision:
Our primary function is to supply member farms with skilled agricultural workers. These employees are legally employed by the association and assigned to farms based on their specific skills and the farm’s requirements. This system ensures flexibility while maintaining employment security and compliance with labor laws.
2. Supporting Local Agriculture:
By pooling resources and centralizing employment, we strengthen local agriculture. Farmers gain access to professional labor without administrative burdens, which allows them to expand operations, improve productivity, and maintain quality standards. Stable workforce access also reduces stress and uncertainty, contributing to better overall farm management.
3. Promoting Solidarity:
Our mission is rooted in solidarity. Members share resources, skills, and workforce opportunities, creating a cooperative environment where everyone benefits. This spirit of collaboration strengthens the agricultural community and encourages mutual support among farms of all sizes.
4. Ensuring Employment Stability:
Employees benefit from secure, formal contracts that provide predictable schedules, legal protections, and fair compensation. This stability encourages long-term employment, professional development, and loyalty, which benefits both the workers and the farms they serve.
5. Legal and Administrative Support:
We take responsibility for all employment contracts, payroll management, and compliance with regulations. By relieving farmers of these tasks, we reduce risks, simplify processes, and allow them to focus on agricultural production and innovation.
Why Our Mission Matters
The agricultural sector is vital to the economy, environment, and society. By supporting rural employment and enabling farms to operate efficiently, we contribute to the sustainability of local agriculture and the overall well-being of our communities. Our mission ensures that local farms are equipped to thrive, employees are treated fairly and securely, and the cooperative model continues to foster solidarity and collaboration.
