A nice place to take a nap is what Singaporean professionals desire most in the office, according to a survey by professional networking site LinkedIn.

More than a third of the 384 participants in the online poll said their dream future office includes "a quiet place... where they're allowed to take a nap".

The LinkedIn study, done in July and whose findings were released yesterday, asked respondents to choose one of four dream office perks: a place to nap, a clone or assistant to help one through the workday, a place with sunlight or a mute button for co-workers.

The top choice globally was a clone, but only 22 per cent of Singaporeans cared for one.

Slightly more - 23 per cent - wanted a spot in the office with natural sunlight, while the mute-button option got only 14 per cent of the votes in Singapore.

Survey participants could also come up with their own wish list, with Singaporean responses ranging from a good office pantry to better air-conditioning temperature control to a teleportation machine.

As for what might be the next big thing, for Singaporean professionals, it was cloud storage, where files are stored in a virtual space rather than in a computer's hard drive.
