Sorry! I haven’t heard of any organisations offering this …yet.
I can see it now! Resistance/ questions from our OH&S Manager will go something like this
Cost of the organisation in providing desk pillows and/or nap rooms, how many and if so who manages the booking system for the room
Cost of the pillow…or pillows with special requirements (i.e.: for neck issues) etc…
Long sleepers… “sorry I’m late minister…I overslept”
Pillow theft
Pillow cleaning
Pillow cover cleaning
Do we provide pyjamas?
Then we have equity. What about outdoor staff that dont have desks? Do we then supply swags? Each location would then require a OH&S assessment.
Safety of staff while asleep
What if there is a fire? Worse? What if there is a fire and the fire warden is sleeping
Injuries sustained from sleep walking
Embarrassment from sleep talking
That one staff member that thinks it is really funny to put the sleeper finger in warm water
The other staff member that shave off a sleepers eyebrows
The w/c claim re: psychological damage from finger in warm water and/or lack of eyebrows
The grievance that subsequently follows ....
Need I say more.
