Dealing with grief and loss with strength
The impact of irregular working hours on employee well-being.
In the Netherlands, 5 million people work irregular hours, including 1.5 million in night shifts. This is a crucial issue for employers, managers, and employees alike, as irregular work schedules can have a significant negative impact on employee health and well-being. Disrupted biorhythms, insomnia, mental health issues, and feelings of isolation are just a few of the risks. Unfortunately, many organizations lack the necessary knowledge to minimize these negative effects.
In this episode of the Prevermo Podcast, physician Elles Daamen and vitality expert Jacco Tempelman dive into key questions, including:
- What exactly does irregular work entail?
- How do irregular working hours affect employee health and vitality?
- What can employees do to safeguard their well-being?
- How can employers support their workforce and mitigate the negative effects of irregular shifts?
