Wakefit rolls out 'Right to nap' initiative for employees

Wakefit.co has launched 'Right to nap' initiative to promote and normalize afternoon naps at the workplace.

 

In an official statement to its employees by Chaitanya Ramalingegowda, Director and Co-founder of Wakefit.co, the company announced 2:00 pm to 2:30 pm as the official nap hours, encouraging employees to take a well-deserved break amidst hectic work schedules. The email received an overwhelming response from Wakefit employees, who took to LinkedIn and other social media platforms to share their appreciation of the landmark policy.

 

An afternoon nap is instrumental in helping the body recharge and refocus on the task at hand, thus improving workplace productivity and motivation. Conversations around afternoon naps became predominant with the advent of work from home, and companies are slowly but steadily realizing its importance. Through this initiative, the company hopes to start a sleep revolution while also encouraging other companies to adopt the initiative. 

 

Talking about the 'Right to Nap' initiative, Chaitanya Ramalingegowda Director & Co-Founder, Wakefit.co said, "Research shows that afternoon naps help with memory, concentration, creativity, and productivity. 

 

 A NASA study reveals that a 26-minute catnap can enhance performance by 33%, while a Harvard study shows how naps prevent burnout. Keeping these in mind, we have decided to normalize afternoon naps at work & declare 2 to 2:30 pm as official nap time for all our employees. From now on, our employees will have the right to nap between 2 to 2:30 pm and their calendars will be blocked during this time as official nap time."

 

He added, "Through this initiative, we aim to focus on our employees wellbeing, while also fostering a culture that strongly encourages self-care. We also urge other brands to join us in this effort to promote a healthy lifestyle for their employees".
