Offices Investing in Energy Pods

We are all familiar with the phrase “No Sleeping on the Job” but apparently some companies are retracting this belief. For the sake of productivity, some companies allow their employees to sleep but not on their table.

Companies are taking on a new lease, investing in these innvovative EnergyPods for taking naps and then return to work refreshed. Of course this may be subject to a lot of issues but knowing companies, they are bound to place some restrictions and guidelines on proper hours to get some short naps and then be more productive for the sake of overall operations.

Vinayak Sudame, an engineer at the Research Triangle Park campus of Cisco, says he uses an EnergyPod to “shut my eyes and shut myself off for 10 or 15 minutes” when he is working on a problem or needs some quiet time. More than a walk or a coffee break, he says, this type of “total mental rest” helps him return to work with what he calls a “reorganized” perspective.

    Although in principal the idea of a ‘engery pod’ does sound really good, chances are they are pretty expensive to buy so very much doubt a medium to small size company will be able to splash out on them. Although the idea of using one does sound appealing!

    That will be nice.:) Take the lunch then a short nap :)

    I think they even offer this outside the usual lunch breaks. I guess it would depend on the company on how much they want productivity.

    Man I wish my company would pick up on that idea. Since my company is more traditional, I don’t think this is ever going to happen here :(
