The Invisible Toll: Trauma and Stress in Worker and Employer Wellness explores how trauma and ongoing stress affect both workers and employers in agricultural communities. Farming and agricultural work involve unique pressures such as economic uncertainty, physical demands, long hours, isolation, and exposure to injury or loss that can influence workplace safety, decision making, productivity, and retention.
This webinar takes a whole workplace perspective relevant to agricultural communities, examining how stress and trauma can show up across roles from fieldwork to management. Participants will gain practical insight into common impacts, why these issues matter for the long-term sustainability of agricultural operations, and how trauma informed approaches can support safer, more stable, and more effective workplaces.
