‘We need to be careful together,’ says The Nunes Co. IT director

Learn from Blanca Acosta, director of care and culture at Abundant Harvest Organics, which grows for Homegrown Organic Farms. Acosta shares how taking care of your produce employees means listening to — and acting on — their day-to-day needs in their specific working environment. That can mean ladder sleeves to prevent field falls, picking up fruit in walking areas to prevent packing shed slips, warm-up exercises before shifts and placing feminine products in restrooms for female employees on their menstrual cycles.
