According to a new study from Mattress-Inquirer of over 1,000 people, 55% of people oversleep at least once a week and 75% of those have missed work. Wait a minute: I thought people who liked and were really passionate about their work couldn’t wait to get up and go there… does this mean that this same 55% don’t like their work? And if you couple this weird survey with the tight labor market, it stands to reason that this same 55% could, if they wanted, find a more alluring job. If you’re a manager plagued with oversleeping employees and absenteeism, focus on making work exciting, challenging, rewarding, fun, and inspiring enough to motivate your employees to want to get up on time and come to work every day. If you’re not passionate about your work, don’t expect your employees to be any different than you. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you, and then inspire your employees to feel the same today.
