Our clients lead by example: The CEO of Pontiflex Naps At Work And So Should You, Says CBS News

Recently featured in a video spot on CBS News for their napping culture the CEO of Pontiflex, Zephrin Lasker, is a big believer in naps. To promote wellness, creativity, and productivity, Pontiflex has set up a designated napping room for employees to recharge during the day. Employees use the room whenever they need a little shut-eye.

Featured yesterday on CBS with a number of experts on napping it seems that Pontiflex is on to something.

According to Doctor Jordan Stern, featured in the news spot:

“It [napping] will improve your memory, it will improve your motor skills, it may even improve your creativity and it may improve your decision-making skills…” – CBS

It seems like a no brainer; not only should naps be allowed at work, employers should encourage them. If you want tired, grumpy, and unproductive employees than go ahead and pour them another cup of that room temperature coffee and tell them to get back to work.  If you are interested in well-rested, sharp, productive minds it might be time to take a trip to IKEA and by a comfy recliner, or ten.
