HAVE YOU EVER...

  • wondered how and when to sleep, what to eat, how to balance family with home life and how to stay alert when working?
  • felt that your body was out of sync because of working shifts or extended hours or were concerned about the long term impact of working nights?

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.

This workshop focuses on the impact and causes of shift work stress on sleep, energy cycles, health and relationships and provides practical stress management strategies based on the S-O-S Principle™ to reduce the negative impact.

The stress management strategies provided will center on reducing the impact of shift work stress on sleep, illness and support by answering questions on how much sleep do you need, how do you know if you are getting enough sleep, what stress management strategies are important to maintaining your health as a shift-worker and how can you keep connected to those around you.

OBJECTIVES

  • Understand the concepts and stress symptoms associated with shift work stress and the unique challenges associated with them
  • Recognize the impact shift work has on sleep, nutrition and relationships and the consequences of ignoring them

“…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…”
