How rotating shift schedule can double productivity
Rotating shifts require an employee to work at different times based on the type of work required. The shift cycle can be weekly or quarterly and hours between day shifts, night or overnight shift. Employee who works in the morning shift for the 3 consecutive days in a row may rotate to do the afternoon shift for the following days. This shift pattern helps to distribute shifts in desirable hours and less desirable hours between employees.
