My Qualifications

I am a shiftwork expert.  I might go so far as to say I am THE shiftwork expert.

Here are my qualifications:

1. An undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the United States Naval Academy
2. An MBA (international finance) from Purdue University
3. A Masters in Management from ESC Rouen, a leading business school in France
4. 21 years experience in working with shift workers and shiftwork operations

Simply put, there is no one, anywhere, that has worked with more shift workers and more shiftwork operations than I have.  My industrial experience includes mining, manufacturing, food processing, refining, power generation (nuclear and conventional), semi-conductors and pharmaceutical.

I have worked with most of the major unions.

I have worked with companies in the United States, Canada, Chile, England, Australia and South Africa.

For the last 21 years, I have been fully employed helping shift workers and shiftwork operations overcome obstacles and achieve their common goals.

I am not a cop that worked shiftwork and thus consider myself an expert.  I am not a nurse that has seen the effects of shiftwork.  I am not a researcher sitting in a lab, pretending that it's the same as the production floor.

Those people are out there and you should feel free to look them up if you feel so inclined.  However, there is no one out there that has done this more often and for a longer period of time than me.

I am currently a partner with a consulting firm I founded called Shiftwork Solutions.  If you need help, give us a call.

However, if you just want periodic information about shiftwork, maybe this blog will help you out.  My intention is to cover issues that my experience tells me are important to you.

Bookmark this page.  Send me an email.  Do whatever you wish to stay informed.  If there is a specific topic you would like me to discuss, drop me a line.  I can be reached at Jim@shift-work.com.

I intend to write something for this blog about once a week.  This will depend on how busy I am and how urgent your requests are.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope to hear from you soon.
