Australian Workplaces that Nap

Harry M Miller, Sydney
Harry Miller, one of Australia's best-known promoters and media managers, actively encourages his staff of nine to slip up to their meditation room once or twice a day to chill out, meditate or nap.
“Napping is a great idea,” says Harry. “It’s a kind of traffic control which slows your brain down.”

Wordstorm, strategic public relations and writing company, Sydney
“Productivity is about people feeling good – and if my staff need to take a nap to feel good, that’s fine with me. I trust that my staff, so I’m not concerned that they’ll abuse their nap-time.” Monica Rosenfeld, Managing Director , Wordstorm.

Kellie Mills, Customerologist and Business Manager, Newcastle, NSW
When Kellie needs to conduct night training after a full days work night, she goes into the board room around 5 pm and tells her staff that she’s not taking any calls.
“Before I nap I feel as though “I can’t be bothered” says Kellie. “Afterwards I’m refreshed and ready to go.”
