Why Your Employees Should Get Enough Sleep When They Travel

by Andrea Tsakanikas President

Employers 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.
