Total Worker Health® (TWH) is a framework for integrating worker and workplace safety, health, and well-being, which has achieved success in European and US settings. However, the framework has not been implemented in Latin America or in agricultural sectors, leaving large and vulnerable populations underrepresented in the implementation and evaluation of these strategies to improve safety and promote health and well-being. This study presents a case study of how a TWH approach can be applied to a multinational Latin American agribusiness. We describe the process and adaptation strategy for conducting a TWH assessment at multiple organizational levels and in multiple countries. We follow this with a description of a TWH leadership training that was conducted based on the results of the assessment. Finally, we describe our methods to make corporate recommendations for TWH policies and programs that were informed by the TWH assessment and leadership trainings. With this case study we aim to demonstrate the importance and feasibility of conducting TWH in Latin America.
In addition to the costs associated with choosing to disclose an "invisible" or "concealable" identity, neurodiverse workers must also consider a unique cost of nondisclosure: masking. This commentary extends LeFevre-Levy and colleagues' (2023) focal article by identifying additional considerations for disclosure of invisible identities, incorporating existing literature on masking in the workplace, and emphasizing the risks and benefits of disclosure and masking for neurodiverse workers.
