Is Sleep Costing You?
Sleep profoundly influences everyone from the boardroom to the factory floor. Good quality sleep depends on our physical and mental well-being and the health of our businesses.
According to a recent Harvard Study, insomnia costs the average U.S. worker 11.3 days, or $2,280, in lost productivity yearly compared to their well-rested counterparts, primarily due to presenteeism (working while sick or sleep-deprived).
McKinsey & Company explored the connection between sleep and workplace performance, highlighting that sleep-deprived individuals exhibit impaired cognitive functions, such as attention, memory, and decision-making, which are crucial to workplace performance, particularly for leaders who must make complex decisions.
“A huge thank you again to Tom for this insightful session and to the team for continuing to find ways to support the wellbeing of our community so we can all be our best selves in and out of the office!”
