WFH staff are napping on the job

30-10-2024

Research indicates that nearly 10% of Britons are taking naps during office hours when working from home, leading to an estimated £500m weekly loss in productivity. The poll, commissioned by Reign Storm, also found that more than three million workers have left their jobs due to issues related to tiredness, with younger workers being the most affected. Workers in this bracket were the most likely to call in sick because of tiredness, with one in five of those aged 18-24 admitting to doing so. The analysis of napping on the job when working from home comes shortly after a survey by KPMG found that over a third of employers expect staff to be in the office at least four days a week, with many planning to utilise technology to monitor attendance. Despite this push for office presence, separate polling shows that a significant number of chief executives are still working from home.
