[292] - The Future of Shift Work - A Solution for leaders

from A Healthy Shift | The Shift Work Podcast Hosted by Roger Sutherland | Shift Work Nutrition, Health & Wellbeing Coach | Keynote Speaker

Text me what you thought of the show 😊 Roger Sutherland addresses the critical need for shift worker education and support in 24-7 workplaces, introducing an innovative Shift Work Champions model that trains staff to become wellbeing leaders for their peers. • Shift work organisations face three major problems when workers aren't supported: increased unplanned leave, rising staff turnover, and more workplace accidents • The cost of doing nothing is already visible in safety reports, budgets, and organisational effectiveness • Traditional approaches of occasional emails or flyers about shift work health are inadequate • The new Shift Work Champions model trains selected staff through 12-week coaching programs • Champions receive one-on-one guidance, access to a private community, weekly Q&A sessions, and monthly webinars • This approach embeds knowledge within the workplace, normalises healthy practices, and creates sustainable change • Managers are responsible for staff wellbeing and need to implement proper support systems If you want to explore how the Shift Work Champions model could work in your workplace, visit the link in the show notes for The Seminar Experience" where you can book a call or download the e-brochure.
