Course Description:
Scientific literature on the prevalence of presenteeism in the agricultural industry is lacking. Presenteeism is an issue in the workforce with varying rates. Its prevalence in the workforce, including the agricultural industry, has negative effects including, but not limited to, danger to the workers and lessened productivity.
After conducting this systemic review, it is found that we need further scientific literature on the presence presenteeism and its effect on the workforce and productivity in the agricultural workplace that uses the epidemiological approach. Lessons learned from this research should be applied with the work productivity approach. The hope is that these measures will increase safety and productivity in the agricultural workplace.
