Today, in the UK, more than 8.7 million people are estimated to work at night. That’s a staggering 27% of the entire UK workforce – often described as “the forgotten shift”. Night-work incorporates a broad range of activities, from transport and retail to healthcare and hospitality.

Yet despite how common night-work has become, many employers still need to wake up to the negative impact working at night can have on health and wellbeing, as well as on productivity and engagement:

  • Night shift work increases the risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, and obesity
  • Some evidence suggests night work can impact on reproductive health and increase incidence of cancer*
  • Night workers are six times more likely to get divorced
  • Night workers are more likely to feel left out at work, and are less engaged as a result
