Sydney, 24 November 2022 – Shift workers are set to work a more than 55% increase in work hours this weekend compared to the average weekend, according to estimations from smart scheduling platform, Deputy.
The company is supporting the launch of a new international holiday set to celebrate shift workers. Shift Worker Sunday, celebrated annually on the last Sunday of November, is the perfect time to acknowledge the great work shift workers do and their impact on our daily lives.
Shift Worker Sunday highlights workers who make sacrifices every day, often miss special occasions or events, and work regardless of the time of the day, sometimes in unpredictable and non-compliant workplace cultures.
A shift worker is a person that works on different periods, constantly “shifting” or changing schedules that are usually outside the standard working day and timeframes.
"Society cannot operate without shift workers," said Ashik Ahmed, CEO, and Co-founder, Deputy. "They are the very people who help us cross things off our to-do lists.
The truth is, we don't thank them enough. That's why Deputy has launched Shift Worker Sunday - a day for all of us to show our appreciation by giving back to the hourly workers who make a difference in communities worldwide."
Deputy encourages people to show appreciation by making a small gesture on Sunday.
It could be giving a tip, gifting them a coffee, or leaving somebody a great review.
You could write a thank you note for the retail staff working through the busy Christmas period or tell them about a time they made a real difference to your day.
The most important thing is showing people your appreciation and kindness.
