Increasing work efficiency by…sleeping!
Nov 1st, 2011 by sammiechan
Are you familiar with the sleepy, groggy feeling after eating lunch and then having to dive back into work? The MetroNap Energy Pod can be the solution to your problem.
Google is now equipped with a new sleeping pod for their employees, known as the MetroNap Energy Pod. The device works by simulating the feeling of a room and has a closed shield for privacy. Users can listen to relaxing music while they doze off to release work pressure.
This ingenious device is perfect for ensuring employees in a workplace to have enough energy for work efficiency. Providing sleep pods like the MetroNap Energy Pod is important to a company’s organizational culture because it keeps employees motivated to work. Like Zappos, their employees are committed to work because the work environment is unique. For example, retrieving a snack from the vending machine is free. Maintaining a high job satisfaction within employees is crucial to the workplace since it will reduce the turnover rate and eliminate costs for hiring new employees.
At the Googleplex (Google’s corporate headquarters), employees can be seen riding bicycles to meetings, sitting on massage chairs, or even playing ping pong during their breaks.
