How Employers Can Break the Cycle of Poor Sleep and Performance on the Job

Workplace stress can affect employee sleep patterns, and in turn, poor sleep can impact their performance on the job. In fact, fatigue costs US companies around $136 billion per year in lost productivity.

In the new remote/hybrid world of work, sleep patterns are further disrupted by blurred boundaries between work and home. Join sleep psychologist Dr. Shelby Harris to learn how employers can help their workforce get better sleep–critical for both their mental and physical health as well as their performance on the job.

In this webinar, you’ll walk away with:

  • An understanding of the sleep and mental health connection
  • New sleep research and how you can apply these findings at your organization
  • Actionable strategies to support employee sleep to drive productivity
