Shift Work Doesn’t Have to Wreck Your Health – Here’s How to Thrive

In this episode, I talk about why shift work doesn't have to come at the cost of your health and wellbeing—and why it’s time organisations stop treating shift workers like machines.

I'm Roger Sutherland, and I’ve made it my mission to educate shift workers on how to take control of their health using simple, evidence-based strategies. Through my seminars and coaching, I help workers not just survive their rosters—but actually thrive.

Here’s what I share in this conversation:

• Why most organisations place people into 24/7 rosters without offering any real education on how to manage their health
• How employers focus on KPIs and operational targets, while overlooking their most valuable asset—their people
• What I teach in my seminars, including circadian rhythm alignment, fatigue management, and the five pillars of shift work health
• The specific hormonal challenges female shift workers face, and how to support them properly
• How companies that invest in shift work education are seeing reduced sick leave, improved retention, and fewer incidents
• Why simple and realistic movement strategies are more effective than complicated gym routines for shift workers
• The real-world impact these strategies are having in places like Queensland Police and major pharmaceutical companies

If you’re a shift worker—or responsible for the wellbeing of one—this episode will show you what’s possible when the right education is in place.

Shift work doesn’t have to destroy your health—not when you know what to do.
