Survey on snoozing staff is wake-up call for employers

WHILE even the best employees are apt to the odd daydream of a summer’s afternoon, Irish workers have a tendency to go a step further by actually falling asleep on the job.

Peninsula Ireland found 61% of the employees it questioned admitted they had dropped off while clocked in.

The results of the survey, a nightmare for the country’s employers, also show 63% of the labourers missing their leaba choose a cubicle in the staff toilets for their shut-eye.
