Florette Baby Leaf - Pentaflor HortÃcola, Spain
Staff
Pentaflor HortÃcola currently employs 195 people, and the company has a policy to ensure that 2% of the workforce places are reserved for handicapped staff.
Local and national workers are occasionally unwilling to undertake manual harvesting and agricultural work, resulting in employers looking further afield to recruit staff. Over 80% of the workforce is made up of migrant workers and the company has a policy to look after the welfare of all their employees, with full-time fixed contracts, full legal labour rights, tax documentation, work permits, and accommodation. This highly structured programme has almost eliminated staff turnover.
Forward-thinking employment practices have enabled Pentaflor to develop an excellent employer reputation, reducing staff turnover and the associated costs.
