Training in Dealing With Fatigue and Effective Rostering

1-Day Course

Workplace fatigue causes staff performance to deteriorate, and can therefore result in health and safety problems as well as decreased company productivity. It reduces concentration, slows reaction times, and inhibits an employee's ability to perform their duties in a competent manner—and it is generally a consequence of excess hours worked without sleep and poorly-constructed rosters. Participants enrolled in this course will learn how to:

• identify the effects and causes of workplace fatigue;
• manage fatigued staff members, particularly shift workers;
• introduce effective rostering practices that reduce the likelihood of staff fatigue while also meeting service delivery and productivity needs; and
• map productivity after these practices have been introduced in order to measure success in overcoming fatigue.
