How to motivate workers to accept unpopular shifts (nights, weekends)?

Be transparent in the job posting about shift times and upload photos or a video that shows the actual working environment. Workers are more willing to accept difficult shifts when they understand the pay uplift and conditions clearly from the start.

Use the offer message field when sending an offer to highlight any specific benefits or context for the shift pattern. Give sufficient advance notice when assigning unsocial hours and communicate respectfully via the chat.

Recognise workers who consistently accept difficult shifts with positive reviews, which also benefits their profiles and encourages continued commitment.
