In practical terms, the Information Centers allow Dole workers to access services for themselves or direct family members to resolve issues linked to their social benefits, residence, personal finance and much more. Frequently, dealing with bureaucracy also results in lost time and revenue, increased expenses, long distance travel, and diminished livelihoods, particularly in rural areas that have limited public and private services. A myriad of paperwork and processes that workers and families are confronted with-and have difficulty resolving-or result in lost opportunities, were identified. The concept was developed through a diagnosis to understand the major needs that the Dole rural workforce has and how the company could assist in better fulfilling these needs. The “Information and Wellbeing Centers” is an integrated initiative that works toward positively impacting the lives of farm employees and families by providing support and access to information from over thirty public and private organizations that interact with citizens daily.
