Lawyers encouraged to sleep through the job

Now here’s the law firm that we lawyers have all been longing to work for - the one that says, “You’re looking a bit tired today, why don’t you take a nap?”

New Zealand law firm Meredith Connell has won accolades as an equal opportunities employer for one of its many innovative work-life balance initiatives for its lawyers and staff. It hit the news last week for allowing lawyers to go home and take a nap if they were tired. See the report in the New Zealand Herald here.

The firm is also known for its positive view of Third Age staff, employing Joan Taylor who is 73 in their libary and archive. She works part-time and takes advantage of their weekly subsidised yoga class. Read more here.
