Bullying in farm workplaces is far more common than many would like to admit - and workplace culture can encourage 'putting up with it', rather than speaking out. It should never be your responsibility to walk away from a job, to solve a bullying problem – there should be systems in place to prevent it ever happening. Bullying causes significant stress and long-term mental health impacts - and can even lead to physical dangers, if you are upset or distracted on farm.

In this episode, we discuss preventative strategies and the agricultural workplace's obligation to set a culture and standard that does not tolerate bullying.
