how do we track fatigue?
Randstad uses Signal, a software application, to monitor worker fatigue and ensure compliance with regulated working hours. We recognise that managing fatigue is a collective responsibility, as fatigue can stem from long hours, misaligned body clocks, heavy workloads, and insufficient rest. Fatigue significantly increases the likelihood of importance of effective fatigue management strategies within the industry, something we take seriously.
