About this eBook
Shift workers are the backbone of the Australian economy. Manufacturing, retail, healthcare, restaurants, resorts, transportation, customer service call centers, and media, to name a few, all employ shift workers to cover their long work days. Without shift workers, many products and services would not be readily available to the public. But shift workers face many challenges in the course of their career. Empowering them requires the willingness to invest in human resource solutions. In this Tanda eBook, we’ll discuss the various physical and mental effects of shift work, and how technology can help overcome them.
