Employees at this Indian start-up will have the 'right to nap' for 30 minutes a day


At Google, dedicated rooms and napping areas have been part of the organisation for years. PwC and Uber have also installed nap booths or specially equipped rooms. — AFP Relaxnews

In India, the mattress sales specialist Wakefit wants to make nap time a part of its employees' daily schedules. A half-hour slot, at the beginning of the afternoon, has been set aside to allow staff to stay efficient during the second part of the day. But is this an initiative that will give the world of work pause for thought, as it seeks to promote employee well-being? Or is it just a clever communications campaign?

Indian startup Wakefit is setting aside nap time for its employees. In an internal memo posted on Twitter, company co-founder Chaitanya Ramalingegowda writes that he wants to "take things up a notch" by improving the company's "right to nap" policy.
