March 17, 2026: ONLINE – Positive Communication & Workplace Culture in Agriculture

Mar 17 | 5:30pm - 7:00pm

Join Young Agrarians and AgSafe BC on March 17, 2026 for a practical webinar on positive communication and workplace culture!

We’ll explore the critical role of positive communication and a healthy workplace culture in driving success across the agriculture sector. Participants will learn how fostering respectful, open, and clear communication can strengthen team dynamics, improve productivity, and support staff retention, especially in the often high-pressure, seasonal, and multi-generational environments common in agriculture.

Key topics we’ll cover:

  • Effective communication techniques for diverse teams (including cross-cultural and multilingual workforces)
  • Conflict resolution strategies specific to farm and agribusiness settings
  • Building a culture of respect and inclusion
  • Creating clear roles and expectations to reduce misunderstandings and improve accountability
  • Practical tools (like AgLife) for promoting mental wellness and reducing stress in rural workplaces
