Naptime Proposal Postmortem

Effects of fatigue in the office can be terrific in most instances. It affects the workers’ ability to think and work clearly, which is hazardous to the overall productivity in the workplace. The memo showed that fatigue could make workers less alert and less productive. It also showed that taking a nap was associated with some benefits, where examples such as Yarde Metals’ nap rooms produced desirable results to its workers. Another example, among others, was that of Thomas Edison who used to keep a cot in his office and would generate new ideas while napping. Using real examples assisted in raising a powerful case, since the firm would find the reason to believe in my claims.

In my proposal, I might also use research derived facts about the benefits of napping in order to drive my point home in a desirable way. I might also present different options apart from nap rooms that our firm could explore to ensure that workers get a rest that could propel them. In addition, I would try to show the objections that are likely to arise against the idea of nap rooms, and try to mitigate them using the evidence that could show their essentiality. Since the reader might want an invention that is not capital intensive that would the firm’s expenditure, giving more affordable options would trigger their interests.

I am very likely to be accused of trying to overdo the leadership through my ideas. I could be told that I am moving beyond my boundaries as a junior employee, which might come almost to the point of losing my career. I would try my best and use a persuasive language in my proposal and show that it is only for the concern of improving the firm workers’ productivity, not any personal need. In case a need arises to present myself to the top management, I would do so with humility and explain everything in details. By so doing, I would reduce any form of danger to myself and my career.
