Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Shift Patterns

Dear All

 

We are thinking about changing are shift patterns to 12 hours from 8 hours.  Some of the suggestions put forward are 7 days on 7 off.  Other suggestions include providing an option of 3 days on, 3 off and 4 days on, 4 off.  Considering 44% of our working population is over the age of 40, I know which one I think would be best, but would really appreciate anyone who had any firm evidence, especially when it comes to ageing working populations and if they would be prepared to share it with me. 

 

Maybe my NHS colleagues might have some first hand knowledge.

 

Many thanks

 

Maggie
