Results of 2016 survey of workers in Napa Vineyards

Attached are the results of our 2016 survey of the gender diversity of workers in Napa vineyard companies. A sharp increase in the number of female seasonal laborers in the last few years can be seen, with smaller increases in other job roles. Women remain a minority in all roles at present.

About This Project

University of California Cooperative Extension

Californian farms are traditionally male dominated workplaces but they are increasingly relying on female laborers. Changing the diversity of a workforce can impact the functioning of work teams, affecting efficiency and worker satisfaction. I wish to understand how the recent influx of female workers is affecting vineyard teams. This will allow me to make recommendations as to how these women can be successfully integrated, to benefit both vineyard efficiency and worker satisfaction.
