In today’s fast-paced work environment, sleep deprivation is an all-too-common issue that can silently erode the well-being and productivity of our teams. Despite its critical importance, many employees hesitate to admit that their sleep struggles are affecting their work, leading to excuses for poor performance or an increase in sick days.
As managers, supervisors, and team leaders, it is crucial to understand that poor sleep doesn’t just affect an individual’s health—it impacts their mental and physical well-being, workplace performance, and can even contribute to work-related accidents. However, identifying and addressing sleep issues within your team can be challenging if you’re unaware of the struggles your employees face.
This three-hour workshop is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to recognize the signs of sleep deprivation and effectively support your employees. You will gain insights into the science of sleep, learn how to identify indicators of tiredness in your team, and understand the profound impact that poor sleep can have both individually and within the workplace.
