Rotating rosters, early starts and night shifts disrupt sleep, alertness and health in ways that show up as fatigue, near misses and burnout. This course gives shift workers and the people who manage them practical, realistic strategies to reduce those effects: better sleep, managing fatigue on shift, and looking after wellbeing over the long run.
Who is this course for?
It is for New Zealand shift workers across logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, security and any operation that runs around the clock, and for the supervisors and managers who build rosters and look after those teams.
It is practical and honest, built for real shift patterns rather than ideal ones, so the strategies actually fit the way people work.
