Why Your Employees Should Get Enough Sleep When They Travel
by Andrea Tsakanikas PresidentEmployers should do everything that they can to
encourage their employees to get enough sleep (about 7-9 hours) when they
travel to do company work. Andrea Tsakanikas, an experienced travel manager and
President of CrewFacilities.com
shares some of the major benefits that can accrue when employees get enough
sleep.
Faster
recovery from distractions. Employees who travel are faced
with numerous distractions out there. For example, an accident can occur as
they leave their hotel for the jobsite. Well-rested employees are better able
to put such distractions behind them in order to focus on the tasks lined up
for that day. Conversely, sleep-deprived employees will take longer dwelling on
those distractions and their productivity will drop.
Reduced
rates of burnout. Let’s face it, frequent travel takes a
toll on the mind and the body. However, this burnout can be reduced or avoided
altogether in case employees are encouraged to get enough sleep each night.
Sufficient rest allows the body to renew itself so that you will wake up
energized and fresh.
Better
decision-making. Employees who have had enough sleep the
night before are better placed to make all the right decisions as they go about
their work. For example, your employee may need to make a snap decision about a
concession that a client is seeking in order to renew their contract with your
company. A well-rested employee will quickly weigh all the factors and arrive
at the best decision for the company. Reaction times are also better among
individuals who have had enough sleep. A sleep-deprived employee will find it
hard to think straight due to the mind being foggy.
Having ample rest isn’t only about lying in bed and
closing your eyes. It entails getting the best lodgings where you will be
comfortable, safe and free from distractions. CrewFacilities is in the business
of finding such suitable lodgings, as well as seeing to any other
travel-related matters, such as securing transportation. Contact Andrea
Tsakanikas and discuss how her team can help you to get higher
levels of productivity from the employees who travel.
