Wellbeing in the Workplace
The key to success for any company is to put their employees’ wellbeing at the forefront, and one of the greatest rewards you can give employees is a short break in their day, to switch off, and to manage their stress levels.
An onsite massage program is not only easy to implement (no need to change as it is performed through clothing), it provides numerous proven employee benefits–including stress relief, better sleep, reduced muscle tension, and decreased migraines. These programs also benefits employers, as they are particularly effective in addressing “burn out” a top factor in lower productivity rates and employee absenteeism.
According to HSE, stress, depression or anxiety, and musculoskeletal disorders accounted for a combined 26.8 million days missed due to work-related illness, respectively.
Many people at work experience a dip in energy at some point during the day. Staff who are slumped over their computers all day might suffer from significant and chronic neck and back pain, muscular tightness, and arm, wrist, and hand difficulties as a result of repeated strain. Getting a massage at work will help employees work out those knots and reduce muscle stress in their bodies. Employees rate chair massage as one of the top indicators of a supportive environment. Stress relief is evident immediately and promotes a renewed focus on the projects at hand.
What is an office massage?
An office massage is when a massage therapist comes into a company and conducts fully clothed chair massages for its employees. The treatment is performed in a purpose-built massage chair in a quiet area and is performed through your clothes, so no oils are required. Each massage can last between 10 to 15 minutes and involves treatment on the upper back, head, neck, and shoulders.
