Why night work creates hidden risks for employers

If your organisation employs people at night, you’re likely managing challenges that don’t show up clearly in reports, including:

• Fatigue-related safety risks and near misses

• Higher sickness absence and presenteeism

• Poor sleep affecting mental health and performance

• Unequal access to wellbeing and support services

• Night workers feeling disconnected from leadership and culture

These issues aren’t about individual resilience. Night work disrupts sleep, health and alertness by design - and most employer systems haven’t adapted.

HR teams are increasingly expected to address this proactively, balancing wellbeing, compliance, safety and operational needs.

This guide helps you do exactly that.
