Healthy sleep for shift work

    Both night work and shift work cause sleep deprivation. Not only does this harm the health of your employees, but your organisation also suffers the consequences. After all, tired employees are much less productive, while their chances of having work-related accidents increase. With the ‘Healthy sleep for shift work’ workshop, you can deal with this once and for all.

    Why?

    Night work and shift work disrupt the biorhythm. The potential consequences of this are far-reaching, ranging from sleep disorders to problems concentrating and feelings of anxiety. These complaints lead to a loss of productivity and a greater risk of accidents at work.

    In the long term, an unbalanced biorhythm can even cause high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. These illnesses and chronic disorders increase your organisations’ absenteeism.
