Dear Folks,
We are a small company with high morale and integrity. Working hours are from 6:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. (IST). Most of the employees are facing serious problems such as getting sick, and every day they are reporting issues like headaches, stomach pain, and other health problems. As human beings, we understand their problems, but as a company, we have the responsibility to find a remedy for it. After much consideration, we want to introduce mentoring, motivation, and guidance programs to all employees.
Seeking Health and Wellness Experts
So, can you please suggest good doctors, yoga gurus, or spiritual gurus who can convey our mission with their thoughts and experience? Presently, we need a doctor who is from Hyderabad (General Physician) to deliver health tips... "WE BELIEVE HEALTH IS WEALTH."
For your reference: "We have nice office premises, a hygienic environment, pure drinking water facility, and everything needed for a healthy environment."
Your immediate response is highly appreciated.
Regards
From India, Hyderabad

The Importance of a Healthy Workforce
The idea of having a good medical professional is commendable. However, while treatment is necessary for the sick, it is not sufficient if too many personnel are getting sick. One must find the underlying reason for this.
Understanding Work Hours
IST 6:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. is confusing to me. What time of day are they working? I suppose it would be nighttime.
Industry and Work Environment
What type of industry is it? Are there unrealistic targets? Is work pressure the reason? Are the employees capable of handling the work as well as the pressures? Is job-related training incorporated as an activity?
Maybe answers to these questions can lead to, or at least bring you closer to, the solution.

Understanding Work Hours and Employee Well-being
IST 6:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. is confusing to me. What time of the day are they working? I suppose it would be nighttime. IST means Indian Standard Time, and this shift is only a night shift, from evening 6:30 p.m. to morning 2:30 a.m.
Industry Type and Work Conditions
What type of industry is it? (Service)
Are there unrealistic targets? (All are achievable)
Is work pressure the reason? (We work only 8 hours a day, including lunch and other breaks)
Are the employees capable of handling the work as well as the pressures? (Yes)
Training and Development
Is job-related training incorporated as an activity? (We are implementing various training modules)
If you have any training modules, please share; it would be helpful for us. Maybe the answers to these questions can lead to, or at least take you closer to, the solution.

Thank you, Mr. Murali. With a clean setting, good ambiance, delicious food, and competent staff without undue pressures, it is a well-established setup with very little to criticize. The working hours (8 hrs) are also acceptable. With such good practices being followed, I believe you should provide a way for employees to unwind at home, especially if they are unable to go to bed before 3:30 am.
This situation presents only one potential drawback: the lack of a good night's sleep month after month. It wouldn't be surprising if you notice them becoming irritable, restless, and even confused — clear signs of sleep deprivation. While having a doctor address their health issues is a positive step to identify potential reasons, I believe they also need to adapt to the new sleep pattern. Given the nature of a single shift, there is little that can be done about it.
Yoga and Meditation as a Solution
Your suggestion of involving a Yoga Guru is excellent. I think Shavasana and meditation could help alleviate problems caused by sleep deprivation to some extent by inducing relaxation. If you can find someone to assist with Shavasana & Meditation in Hyderabad, that would be beneficial. If not, I wonder if I could help you with Shavasana & Meditation as I have experience as a teacher and practitioner of these practices and can provide audio guidance.
