💡 Key points to remember :
To mark Quality of Life at Work Week 2025, Nap&Up invites you to refocus wellness initiatives on a neglected but essential element: rest. At a time when mental workload is exploding among employees, three concrete initiatives are on the program to encourage recovery: a sleep workshop, a workshop on the benefits of breathing, and the installation of a micro-nap area.

The Semaine de la Qualité de Vie au Travail (SQVT), to be held from June 16 to 20, 2025, is the perfect opportunity to implement concrete actions to improve the well-being of your employees.
Every year, companies redouble their creativity to offer workshops on nutrition, sport, prevention or stress management.
But in 2025, why not choose a different angle, one that’s simpler, more essential and often overlooked: rest.
Give your employees what they miss most: rest 😴
Rest is the forgotten element of well-being at work, even though it plays a central role in physical recovery, reducing mental workload and preventing stress.
In an increasingly demanding working environment, quality breaks are becoming rare, if not non-existent.
🧠 88% of French people say they are affected by a mental load, and 40% feel a strong mental load (Le Sphinx survey – 2024).
Including moments of rest at the heart of the QVT week sends out a strong signal: well-being also involves slowing down and recovering. And this is often what your employees need most to regain energy, motivation and concentration.
3 ideas for events to put rest at the heart of your QVT Week 2025
1. Workshop “Sleep & recovery: the keys to efficient days” 📚
🕒 45 to 60 minutes
📍 Face-to-face or videoconference
🎯 Objective: Become aware of the impact of sleep and adopt better habits.
In this workshop led by a sleep expert or sophrologist, your teams discover how sleep directly influences their effectiveness at work.
They learn how to :
- Understand sleep cycles to better respect them
- Improve falling asleep with simple routines
- Reduce the impact of screens and stress on their night.
💬 A moment of interactive exchange to help you sleep better and live your working day more effectively.
2. Workshop “The unsuspected power of breathing” 🧘♀️
🕒 15 to 20 minutes
📍 Presential, indoor or outdoor
🎯 Objective: Relaxation, recentering and rapid release of tension.
This guided workshop invites participants to experiment with conscious breathing to refocus and release tension in just a few minutes.
There’s no need to lie down or change clothes: anyone can take part, at any time of day.
They leave with simple exercises they can repeat on their own to :
- soothe the mind
- relieve physical tension
- regain mental clarity and energy
🌬️ A rejuvenating break that fits perfectly into a busy working day.
3. Set up a break room in your company 😴
🕒 10 to 25 minutes per break
📍 On your premises
🎯 Objective: Offer a real physical and mental recovery time
Create a rest area in a quiet room without having to do any work?
It’s possible: Nap&Up can help you set up your corporate break room with quality furniture and micro-nap cocoons to create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation and rest.
- Better concentration
- Reduced stress
- Renewed attention for the afternoon
- Concrete recognition of their need for rest
💡 It’s also a strong message in favor of a more human and sustainable corporate culture.
Conclusion
QWL Week shouldn’t be just another sprint in the year. It can (and should) become a time to slow down, take a breather… and send a strong message to your teams: here, their well-being is a priority.
At Nap&Up, we’re convinced of one thing: better recovery means better work. So this year, make rest a real lever for performance and loyalty.
