Vitality coaching for night workers, the approach
Night work is top sport. In the Netherlands, 1.2 million people sometimes or regularly work at night (CBS, 2022). They are exposed to the dangers and risks of night work and deserve attention and top sport guidance.
Employees who work on their vitality experience an increase in quality of life and work, dignity and an improvement in lifestyle as well as an increase in engagement and resilience.
Organizations that get good at this have demonstrably lower Sickness Absence, higher productivity, higher employee engagement and are better at retaining as well as attracting talent.
One of the key interventions that can support organizations on their way to becoming more vital is the use of the vitality coach with night workers.
- Coaching focuses on achieving lasting behavioral change in the employee.
- The coaching starts with an intake interview in which possible contraindications are also examined by the coach. In this conversation, the motivation, request for help and personal goals are mapped out with the employee.
- The follow-up sessions focus on the personal plan for structural changes and working toward a healthier and more vital life.
- Interim assignments are part of the approach.
Vitality coaching night work focuses on:
- Awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and the impact of vitality in night work.
- Awareness of self-responsibility (self-direction).
- Develop knowledge and skills to enhance vitality, remain sustainably employable and enjoy working.
We do not focus on short-term results as with diets, but on modifying often deeply learned automated (lifestyle) behaviors. Changing this learned behavior takes intensive attention to stop executing existing patterns and learn new behaviors.
