The fiscal year 2004-2005 has seen Shifting to Wellness under go a complete Restructuring Project. The two phases of this Project were; updating the Shifting to Wellness research and modules, and re-training our certified Trainers.

New Manuals
The new manual has not only strengthened the link between the employee guidebook and Trainer’s manual by providing information and strategy frameworks for addressing shiftwork issues, but also developed a more holistic health promotion model. This model includes addressing shiftworkers’ challenges regarding gender and cross-cultural differences, sexual activity, spiritual wellness, and community and relationships.

Recertification
Recertifying our Trainers was undertaken in November 2005. This was an opportunity for Trainers to not only familiarize themselves with the new manuals, but also to share resources and adult education tips.
