MetroNaps Energy Pod

 

Is worker fatigue costing your business? In 2004, leading Australian consulting firm Access Economics, estimated work related injuries that were attributable to fatigue cost Australian and New Zealand businesses more than $2.9 billion annually. Taking a leaf out of the Google and Virgin management books, it may pay employers to encourage workers to sleep on the job.

Found in the offices of the aforementioned companies, the napping pod is putting a new spin on the power nap. The pod harnesses advanced technology to create a space within a space — a sofa-sized cocoon which blocks outside noise and distractions. Rest, relax and nod off, then be gently woken by a combination of lighting and vibration.

RRP: Energy pods are available for lease, from $660 a month.

 

 

The Zero Chair

A popular model of napping chair for small to medium businesses, the Zero combines back support, seating comfort, aesthetics and architectural design to deliver the optimum mode for napping. Sit back, relax and slide into sleep.
