Job Performance Can Be Affected By Lack Of Sleep.

(“We’re Sorry To Let You Go, But You’ve Just Made Too Many Mistakes Recently. We Need Someone Who Is On The Ball And Paying Attention.”)

Sound familiar? It’s 3 p.m. and you have another two ours before you can leave the office. It’s the same every day–you count the hours and minutes until you can go home. You just want to crawl under your desk and sleep. Not good news for employees or their employers!

People who are sleep deprived are more likely to miss work. Sleep loss causes health problems and a lowered ability to cope.

When you’re sleep deprived, dealing with customers or clients becomes more difficult. You’re irritable, you’re not on your game. Obviously, this can impact your customer satisfaction and have a negative impact on your organization’s bottom line. Tired employees = unhappy customers = less $$$.

You can’t function normally when you’re tired. Mistakes get made, irritability with co-workers happens more frequently and you lose interest in what you’re doing.

This can lead to an increase in job-related accidents and errors. There can be severe consequences especially if you are required to operate machinery, drive or handle tools. Your reactions are slower, your distance perception can be off. The result can be an injury or even death.

Fatigue causes almost 20 percent of workplace related injuries. Accidents on the job place financial burdens on society and our health care system. Workplace related accidents result in financial burdens affecting you, society, and the health care system.
