A Healthy Shift
[253] - Chloe Spring - It All Falls Apart If Management Don't Support It
22 May 2025
Text me what you thought of the show 😊What if we told you that the very people keeping our society running 24/7 — emergency workers, nurses, first responders, and other shift workers — are silently suffering due to outdated systems, toxic workplace culture, and dangerous health consequences?In this powerful and confronting episode, Roger Sutherland sits down with former emergency nurse and shift work advocate Chloe Spring to expose the truth about the silent epidemic affecting millions of essential workers.Chloe shares her deeply personal experience: within just 12 months in emergency nursing, she faced extreme fatigue, mood swings, hormonal disruption, weight gain, and total burnout. Sadly, her story mirrors that of so many shift workers who are told to “toughen up” — while organizational structures and management practices remain dangerously outdated.👉 Did you know? Research shows that shift workers may have a life expectancy 10–15 years shorter than day workers. This is no longer just a workplace issue — it’s a public health crisis.Together, Roger and Chloe challenge the long-held belief that fatigue is a personal failing, and instead, shine a light on the systemic flaws in how 24/7 operations are managed — from poor rostering to lack of recovery support.You’ll also learn:Why traditional health advice doesn’t work for shift workers — and may actually make things worsePractical strategies for nutrition, exercise, and recovery tailored to irregular work hoursHow organizations can take real responsibility for worker wellbeingWhat managers must understand to retain staff and reduce burnoutWhether you're a shift worker seeking sustainable solutions, a leader managing a 24/7 team, or someone who cares about the wellbeing of frontline professionals — this episode is an absolute must-listen.Find Chloe Spring here:Instagram: @chloespring92 Support the show---------------------------- ANNOUNCING "The Shift Workers Collective" https://join.ahealthyshift.com/the-shift-workers-collective Click the link to learn all about it----------------------------- YOU CAN FIND ME AT Website Instagram LinkedIn Shift Work Health and Wellbeing Seminars One2One Coaching _____________________ Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.
