Learn how our team has become more productive and more effective at credit repair in this unique way.

By Graham Doessel Founder and CEO of MyCRA Credit Repairs and www.fixmybadcredit.com.au.

When Elizabeth Faumina is caught napping under her desk – nobody bats an eyelid. In fact, she gets applause when she wakes up.

She has been part of a training program designed to nurture staff and help them be at their most productive for credit repair by allowing them to nap for 30 minutes after lunch every day.

The daily ‘siesta’ has been a huge success.

“I get really tired after lunch, as do most people. Since having a nap every day I have felt so refreshed and awake and I can easily work productively through to 5 o’clock without lagging,” Elizabeth says.

Elizabeth has been listening to a specific sleep program while she naps, which allows the listener to come in and out of sleep at the perfect times for energising the body and refreshing the mind.

The 30 minute ‘power-nap’ is deeper and more effective, with sleepers getting the equivalent of 2 hours normal sleep.

As a Legislative Compliance Officer, Elizabeth has an essential role in credit repair. She spends long amounts of her day in front of the computer reviewing documents and drafting complaints. A job which she says requires lots of persistence and focus.

“I would say on average I have doubled my output just due to being so alert which is crucial in my job, and in credit repair. If your mind is foggy you’re going to go over and over the same information, whereas now I can scan through, do what I need to do with it and move on,” she says.

Elizabeth’s success has resulted in all credit repair staff having access to a siesta in the afternoon when they feel they need it.

According to a Choice study on sleep deprivation, Australians are getting less sleep while expecting to achieve more.

But Choice says one night of insufficient sleep can result in a 20%-32% increase in mistakes and 14% increase in time needed to perform a task.

If people have a job which is repetitive or requires solving lots of problems, losing sleep is not ideal. Concentration and thinking ability deteriorate the longer people remain awake, the result being decreased accuracy and efficiency in the workplace.

Choice says if people take less than 5 minutes to fall asleep in the evening or fall asleep while watching TV regularly, they may be sleep deprived. Grogginess, clumsiness and moodiness are also strong indicators of sleep deprivation.

Since implementation of the program began, productivity amongst credit repair staff has gone up, and they are generally happier. That has meant we have been able to help more people restore their credit rating than ever.
