Being Farmstrong: Dana Carver
from The Country Hosted by NZME
Michelle Watt talks to Dana Carver about why investing in wellbeing is not just good for people, it's good for business. Drawing on her experience running a dairy farm alongside her husband Tony, Dana shares how creating the right support systems around people can build resilience, improve decision-making, strengthen staff retention, and help create workplaces where individuals and teams can thrive. Combining her background in psychology with the realities of everyday farming, Dana offers practical insights into what helps farm teams perform at their best and why taking a proactive approach to wellbeing is essential for long-term success. Dana also speaks candidly about the pressures many women face in farming and the importance of sharing the load, both at work and at home. She reflects on the expectation for women to be "superwoman" and do it all and discusses why challenging these assumptions is critical for improving women's wellbeing and creating more sustainable farming businesses.
