The night shift is difficult physically, but the afternoon shift can be hard on your family and social life. In my last post, I talked about shift workers' preferred shift, which is the day shift, and the implications of that preference on worker satisfaction levels.
Unlike acoustic pianos, digital pianos are pretty hardy and do not suffer from changes in temperature or humidity. They can therefore be positioned...

Read More »In my last post, I talked about shift workers’ preferred shift, which is the day shift, and the implications of that preference on worker satisfaction levels. An obvious follow-on question to the preferred shift assignment is to understand shift workers’ least-preferred shift. Over the last 23 years working with shift work operations, I have observed that there is often one least preferred shift at a site, and it is either the night shift (also known as 3rd, graveyard, or sometimes the hoot-owl or hoot shift) or the afternoon shift (2nd or swing shift). Which shift is least preferred at a particular site is typically driven by the demographics of the workgroup and the work environment. Here are the overall results from our database of survey responses to the question “What is your least-preferred 8-hour shift?” : From a sleep management perspective, most shift workers have more trouble getting enough good-quality sleep on the night shift. This makes it less desirable for facilitating high alertness. On the other hand, it allows the people on night shift to meet other obligations in their lives like managing childcare, going to school, working a second job, and spending time with their families. Afternoon shift allows many shift workers to manage their sleep patterns better (second shift workers get more sleep than either day shift or night shift) so they often feel better on this schedule than on a night shift schedule. The main downside to the second shift is that it requires work during the “prime-time” evening hours when family and friends are available. For parents, this can be a deal-breaker since it may mean that they almost never see their families during the workweek. This difference of opinion on the least desired shift is an opportunity when it comes to staffing your shift schedule. On an 8-hour schedule, it is often possible to give an overwhelming majority of folks either their first or second choice of shift assignments and avoid the least desirable shift. All it takes is some flexibility in the shift-bid system and sufficient cross-training of the workforce to meet the skill requirements on all shifts.

Press the gas pedal. When some new drivers try to pull away quickly they either stall or just move off slowly and one of the main problems is not pressing the gas pedal before moving off. It's possible in a modern car to move off without any gas but it's not good practise. Because the car moves off without needing any gas, some new drivers get used it and it kind of works for them most of the time. The car moves, so why use the gas pedal? When moving off on a flat road, you should press the gas and set the revs roughly up to about 1 and a half, then find the biting point. This helps you move off smoothly and there's less risk of stalling. Press the gas more as you smoothly raise the clutch as you move off. You won't have time to look at the rev counter or want to stare at it, so you'll have to get used to the sound of the engine. Uphill. Pressing the gas more and setting the revs a little higher than 1 and a half helps the car move off on an uphill without worrying about stalling. Anytime you demand more from the car, whether it's an uphill start or you want to move off quickly then give it a bit more gas.
