The British Grooms Association (BGA) announce the launch of their Equine Employers Handbook, the first ever dedicated guide to employing staff in the equestrian industry.
The handbook addresses issues from recruiting to discipline and termination, employment facts, sickness and employee relations. Tailored specifically to the challenges of the equine industry, the Handbook includes: Case studies, sample letter templates, practical handy tips, useful links, the legal facts and check lists.

Executive Director Lucy Katan explained the motive behind the book. “The BGA has always had a vision to help grooms, but also to offer support and guidance to employers – this Handbook fulfils this ambition. We have not used any of our members’ funds or association sponsorships to develop it; however any profits will go back into supporting the association.”
 

“The Equine Employers Handbook is an excellent, well researched and practical tool for any equine employer,” said BEF Chief Executive Andrew Finding. “As an industry we depend on our employees and our businesses reap the benefits if they are correctly managed. I am delighted that the British Grooms Association has undertaken this important work and I recommend the Equine Employers Handbook to all who seek to employ staff who do so much vital work within our industry.”

British Dressage members will receive a 10% discount off the cost of the handbook (normally £37.50) from now until 31 March 2010. So don’t miss out on this valuable resource. Pick up your copy today!
