“Total Worker Health: What it means for your bottom line.”

The Total Worker Health (TWH) approach seeks to promote worker health and productivity by recognizing and addressing job-related factors that impact worker well-being. Businesses can reduce costs and improve their bottom line by adopting a TWH approach.

Dr. Rohlman is a professor in the Department of Occupational & Environmental Health in the
University of Iowa’s College of Public Health where she holds the Endowed Chair in Rural Safety and
Health. She is director of the University of Iowa’s Healthier Workforce Center as well as the director of
the Agricultural Safety and Health Training Program in the University of Iowa’s Heartland Center for
Occupational Health and Safety. Her research focuses on the health effects of occupational and
environmental exposures, with emphasis on the increased workplace risks faced by younger employees.
Her studies have examined agricultural workers in the United States and around the world, including
research on the effects of pesticide exposure on adolescents and their developing nervous system. She
also has studied how lifestyle factors, such as risk-taking, substance use, distracted behaviors, and
fatigue or sleep deprivation, can impact safety on the job, as well as the effect of interventions directed
toward supervisors and workplace policies. Dr. Rohlman received her masters and doctorate in
experimental psychology from Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
