Wakefit Solutions, a D2C (Direct to Consumer) home and sleep solutions startup, shared a post on LinkedIn that was a screenshot of the email sent to all employees . “Surprise Vacation: Announcing the Gift of Sleep” was the headline of the email sent to employees.
“We are delighted to announce that Wakefit will celebrate International Sleep Day on Friday, March 17 as an optional holiday for all of its employees. As sleep enthusiasts, we consider Sleep Day a festival, especially when it falls on a Friday! You can take advantage of this leave like any other holiday through the Human Resources portal,” the company states in the statement.
Last year, the company announced a “policy of right to nap” for its workforce that allowed all employees to take a 30-minute nap during their work hours.
