Shift work and sleep disturbances can pose significant health risks, impacting employee well-being and productivity. As 24/7 operations and remote work become more common, addressing these issues is crucial. This conference will explore the latest research and best practices to mitigate these risks, support employees, reduce healthcare costs, boost workplace morale, and develop actionable solutions for healthier workplace environments.

Through expert-led discussions, participants will learn to implement evidence-based interventions, assisting employers, occupational health professionals, and policymakers in improving sleep health and overall employee well-being.

By attending this conference, you will:

  • Understand and identify shift work's key health risks
  • Develop actionable solutions to promote healthier workplace environments
  • Be able to advocate for healthier work schedules and environments within your organisations
