Private trainings can be customized in topics and duration for your operations.

Field supervisors, mayordomos, and crew leaders are the front line of your management team. These leaders can ensure quality production, compliance with company policies, and keep your operation running smoothly and efficiently. However, inadequately trained supervisors can provoke significant legal and financial risks, poor quality work, higher injury rates, increased worker turnover, and costly regulatory penalties and lawsuits.

From Workers Supervised by ASDP Participants

^{"The truth is that he is a very good mayordomo and has learned a lot, that means that the program is very useful. One learns a lot because we all improve with mayordomos, so there is a lot of learning in agriculture."}

^{"I feel more satisfied when I have a question about work or safety because now he answers us with more respect, explains more patiently and stops to ask if we understand."}
