The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that nearly one in five American workers (about 24 million people) are shiftworkers, and similar trends are occurring throughout the industrialized world.

To better understand and manage this vital and growing workforce, CIRCADIAN has produced the most comprehensive report on shiftwork operations: Shiftwork Practices 2007. Featuring data collected from 400 shiftwork facilities in the US and Canada, which employ more than 290,000 full-time shiftworkers.

Shiftwork Practices 2007 reports on the shift-scheduling practices and key performance data of a broad sample of extended hours operations. These data are critical to benchmarking individual operations, and the 24/7 economy as a whole, and for identifying potential areas for cost saving in a company’s bottom line.
