Sleep is a very personal activity that we as humans carry out each and every day, enabling us to complete daily tasks in an efficient and healthy manner and forms the foundation for our emotional wellbeing and physical health.

While we would usually sleep in the comfort of our own home and far away from the workplace, the knock on effects of a bad sleep experience can severely affect how we work and interact in our workplace environment.

The importance of our health and wellbeing has been highlighted now more than ever with the impact of the pandemic. In the workplace we know that ill health and wellbeing not only affects the individual immensely but also has a negative impact on the productivity and innovations of our teams.

Sleep is vital for healthy interpersonal relationships, concentration, decision making and risk evaluation with the negative implications adversely impacting a business and its workforce.

When sleep is recognised by a business for the valuable foundation it plays in its workforces health and well being, then the importance of sleep experience can be embedded in its culture to maintain and support its most valuable resource - its people.

Behaviours can be embedded in the businesses workplace culture to strive for excellent sleep health, the benefits of which can be felt across its work force on a daily basis having a positive knock on effect throughout their organisation.
