The Daily Nap · 10 January 07
The Pathumwan district office in central Bangkok recently set up a lunchtime “nap room” that features soft music, sweet-smelling flowers, soft lighting and strict rules surrounding mobile phones and talking.
Surakiet Limcharoen, the district’s top official who started the program, in a brave/honest moment said “I’ve been taking naps at lunchtime for a long time, and decided to introduce the project to my staff in November.”
The Bangkok Post’s Monday edition showed a picture of a wood-paneled room with civil servants seated around a conference table. Everybody in the room has their heads down on desks and the blinds drawn.
Now that is progress! Are you listening Alberta employers?
