Whether it’s the planet Earth rotating around the Sun or shift workers shifting between day and night, our time is affected by a myriad of spinning events. Certain are obvious, while others are less so.

Many people are aware, for example, that the Earth revolves around its axis approximately once every 24 hours. Scientists have measured the slight fluctuations in rotation speed using atomic clocks. This fluctuation causes the solar day to appear shorter or longer than it really is and therefore the atomic clocks, which keep the standard time must be adjusted regularly. This is referred to as a leap second.

The Coriolis effect is another example of a cyclic event. It is the periodic wobbling that happens when the Earth’s pole of rotation orbits the Sun. This motion is a key factor in shaping the rules of weather patterns and is the reason why fun rides such as Ferris wheel and carousels have to be built with solid side-to-side bars, called an axle.

Similar to job rotation, it exposes employees to different jobs and work environments that help them develop their capabilities and professional growth. It is common for shift changes to disrupt team dynamics and stress can be caused by employees trying to adjust to the new conditions. Companies can implement strategies like open communication and wellness programs to maintain a healthy work environment for their employees. In addition, they can also think about employing scheduling software to manage shift changes in a seamless manner.
