In this episode of The HR Leader Podcast, a sleep wellness manager unpacks the pros and cons that working from home (WFH) can have on our sleeping routines and the role that employers have when it comes to ensuring that their employees are getting adequate sleep.
First-time host Kace O’Neill speaks with Rachel Beard, a sleep wellness manager at AH Beard Sleep Wellness Centre, about her work and insight into how Australian workers can ensure they get the adequate sleep they need. Beard shares her knowledge of how the WFH landscape has changed the way we interact with our sleeping patterns and the potential pitfalls that can arise when workers fail to set routines and boundaries while working from home.
Beard also delves into the role that employers, organisational leaders, and HR teams can best ensure their workers get enough sleep before showing up to the workplace. Beard stresses the importance of sleep and how it can oftentimes be disregarded when we speak about mental health and wellbeing topics – proclaiming that a lack of sleep can be a catalyst for negative mental health conditions. Finally, Beard offers some effective advice and strategies that can assist workers out there who may be struggling to get a good night’s sleep.
