It is nice to hear that your company has a focus on work-life balance. One option to consider with your schedulers if feasible. At one place I worked the first shift was more experienced/less temps so they would handle the more complicated products and the basic ones would be relegated to the second shift to help avoid errors. Another suggestion would be to schedule simpler production to the second shift. Is you company not planning on hiring someone to fill your roll on the second shift? If you can help with that selection process and make sure that that person is on the same page as you when it comes to what needs to be done that would help make your job a lot easier. I think that if you can spend some time working with the second shift that will be a great help. I also don't think I would be very well supported if I started forcing people to do things. I see what you're saying but we have a company culture that really revolves around happy employees and being a good place to work - something to consider in what you say regarding not letting that get too carried away, however I struggle being stuck between our culture and breaking that potentially losing people. Yes there is a balance to not completly pissing everyone off however they need to undertand change in business needs You are their boss and are paid to make the company effecient not the EE's home life.
We run 7-3, 3-11 & 11-7, they will get used to it, I had a few people who said "I cant (won't) work that shift", those people are now working elsewhere.
We went to a weekly rotation so everyone gets the short end of the stick. Your paying them to work for you they need to work when you need them. Every plant employee has some type of family and 99% of people would prefer to work between 7-5 however like Brian pointed out if your plant runs outside that you need staff.
