  File: sitemap.xml (root of repo)
  Created: April 5, 2026
  Last Updated: April 19, 2026
  Author: Claude Opus 4.6 for Jim @ Shiftwork Solutions LLC

  PURPOSE:
      XML sitemap for shift-work.com. Lists all deployed pages with
      lastmod dates and priority values. Referenced by robots.txt.
      Ensures all pages are discoverable by search engines and AI
      retrieval bots.

  DEPLOYMENT:
      Place in the ROOT of the Shiftwork-Solutions-Website GitHub repo.
      Render serves it at https://shift-work.com/sitemap.xml

  MAINTENANCE:
      Update this file whenever a new page is added or an existing
      page receives a significant content update. Update the <lastmod>
      date to match the deployment date.

  CHANGE LOG:
      2026-04-05 — Initial build. 39 URLs.
      2026-04-06 — Added /about/, /our_team/, /testimonials/,
                   /industries/paper-packaging-operations/. 43 URLs total.
      2026-04-19 — DOMAIN GO-LIVE: site launched at shift-work.com.
                   All lastmod dates updated to reflect live deployment.
                   Fixed two incorrect pillar guide slugs:
                     absenteeism-relief-coverage-management
                       → staffing-strategy-guide
                     shift-work-policies-guide
                       → shift-work-health-safety-compliance
                   Updated contact page lastmod (form fix deployed today).
