Know more about Veggies From Mexico: Quality of Life in Shelters

As a new agricultural season dawns, companies grapple with familiar challenges: enhancing production while curbing costs.

Achieving these objectives necessitates hiring hundreds of skilled workers for tasks ranging from soil preparation to product shipment. Often, the local workforce falls short, compelling companies to source labor from distant regions, which involves migration for many workers and their families.

In response, companies must ensure not only safe transit but also adequate living conditions for these migrant workers. This includes maintenance-free shelters constructed from suitable materials that provide protection against the elements and noise, equipped with essential services like electricity, potable water, and sanitation for the employment duration.

Moreover, companies offer various employee development and support programs. These include childcare services offering early stimulation, balanced nutrition, health monitoring, education, and recreational activities in secure environments staffed by trained caregivers. Initiatives extend to educational support for school-aged children and adolescents in partnership with educational institutions and government bodies. Some companies provide on-site classrooms or transportation to schools, scholarships for university students, and adult education programs for those employees who were not able to complete their basic studies like those offered by the Sinaloa Institute of Adult Education (ISEJA). All these to promote integration and educational retention and maybe in the future they will become part of the team.

Healthcare strategies are also in place, ranging from first-aid training to fully-equipped medical offices staffed by healthcare professionals. More serious cases are referred to insurance medical units or specialized clinics. Health campaigns further support employees and their families.

The agricultural firms within the Veggies from Mexico community adhere to these standards and more, resulting in reduced worker turnover each season and ensuring a reliable labor force for all necessary operations.”
