Welcome to The Working Time Society
The Working Time Society (WTS) promotes research related to working hours, health, and safety and facilitates networks between researchers, organisations, and the general public.
The WTS was established with the objectives of:
- Discussing both basic and applied problems;
- Acting as an advisory committee for national and international bodies; and
- Promoting cooperative efforts for the solution of occupational work problems in this particular area.
This organisation unites individuals with a wide range of scientific backgrounds, job positions, and interests who are focused on studies, research and practices regarding psycho-social aspects and health problems connected with night and shift work and – more generally – with working hours.
