This morning I visited the Co-op distribution centre, in South Normanton, to hear about the work they are doing to look after their night shift workers' health and well-being. Often the forgotten workforce, night workers are at a higher risk of physical and mental health issues, impacting their families and relationships. 1 in 8 employees across the country work nights and Co-op, along with other large employers, are engaging with the 'Night Club' initiative which brings together leading sleep researchers and employers to explore ways of increasing levels of engagement and job satisfaction amongst nightshift workers.
