A majority of employees feel short nap breaks are essential in today’s work culture. Survey
Only 3% of respondents disagreed with the survey's findings, which indicated that 94% of workers thought it was necessary for them to take quick naps during work hours.
According to a survey, a significant portion of workers think that taking quick naps during work hours might improve wellbeing and boost productivity, in addition to assisting with exhaustion. In Japan, there is a long-standing custom known as “inemuri,” which is taking quick naps during working hours while still being present in the office.
As per a report by Genius Consultants, a staffing solutions and HR services company, it is imperative to foster a salubrious work culture, mitigate stress and weariness in everyday work routines, and enhance productivity and wellness among employees.
Only 3% of respondents disagreed with the survey’s findings, which indicated that 94% of workers thought it was necessary for them to take quick naps during work hours.
It was also said that this illustrates the situations of stress and burnout that workers frequently encounter, which leads them to desire relaxation periods throughout working hours.
1,207 employees from a variety of industries, including banking and finance, construction and engineering, education, FMCG, hotels, HR solutions, IT, ITES and BPO, logistics, manufacturing, media, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals, participated in an online survey between September 25 and October 27, which served as the basis for the research.
Additionally, the report stated that 82% of participants thought that taking quick naps at work could improve productivity. Twelve percent, though, hold a different opinion.
In the meantime, the study also discovered that 60% of workers usually feel exhausted during their regular workdays.
However, 27% of those surveyed claimed they had never experienced such strong fatigue during the course of their workdays.
If they were given the opportunity to take a one-hour nap break during office hours, nearly half of the workers (49 percent) said they would be willing to extend their working hours by one hour. Still, 36% of respondents find this proposition uncomfortable.
‘inemuri’ can improve employee well-being and work satisfaction, according to at least 78% of workers.
According to the report, over 64% of workers think that taking quick naps after work might improve one’s work-life balance, while 21% do not perceive any advantages to “inemuri.”
The results of our most recent study provide insight into how opinions regarding workplace well-being are changing. The study indicates the growing acceptance of this practice in today’s work culture, with an overwhelming 94 percent of employees favoring quick naps during office hours.
Genius Consultants Chairman and Managing Director R. P. Yadav stated, “These insights reveal the potential for enhancing work efficiency, fostering employee satisfaction, and achieving a healthier work-life balance.”
