Shift-Worker: Stress, Health and Solutions
One-third of Canada's paid labour force work some form of non-day or rotating shift. Shift workers are more likely to suffer from insomnia as well as excessive daytime sleepiness and are almost twice as likely to fall asleep at the wheel. Long term shift work takes years off your life.

Shift work has increased enormously during our modern era, which can pose many difficulties and cause increased stress to employees. Fatigue due to shift-work decreases productivity, increases accidents, changes mood, lowers resistance to infection and affects most body functioning.

“…Beverly’s presentation was excellent – the topic was extremely relevant and the presentation was polished and professional. She connected with the audience and based on the very positive feedback from the attendees re this session, motivated them to reevaluate how they currently handle multiple demands in an ever-changing environment and to consider new strategies for managing both their own stress and that of the employees reporting to them. I would certainly consider hiring Beverly again and would not hesitate to recommend her to others…”
