Now
more than ever, stress is a major factor in most people's lives. It
can be caused by work (or being unemployed), finances, children,
marriage problems, and much, much more.
Stress is a contributing factor in up to 75% of doctor's visits.
Keeping stress levels to a minimum allows everyone to be more
productive, healthier and generally happier.
But how does stress affect employees at work? Whether most of us will
admit it, many people carry their stress and let it affect other
aspects of their life. Employee stress affects employers each and
every day and can potentially have severe consequences.
Employee stress can lead to: absenteeism/sick days, accidents &
worker's comp claims, errors in judgement, poor customer service,
conflict with other employees, reduced productivity, decreased morale,
and much more! Each of these can have a dramatic and costly effect on
a business if left unaddressed.
So, what can you do? Recognize that stress is a factor is many of your
employees' lives and provide them an outlet of relieving some of their
stress on a regular basis.
On-site chair massage is a great way of accomplishing just that. We
send 1 or 2 highly trained massage therapists to your office with
portable massage chairs. We ask that you provide us a conference room,
empty office, break room, or some place away from their normal work
areas, if possible. Employees, if they desire, will receive a 5-20
minute seated, chair massage, while remaining fully clothed. The
therapist will focus on the employee's neck, shoulders and back, but as
necessary, other areas such as arms, hands and legs can also be worked.
We offer 2 options for payment. The
preferred method is the employer pays an hourly rate for each
therapist, and employees sign up ahead of time. More employees tend to
take advantage of the massage when their employer is paying for it, but
it is also advantageous to the employer to have as many employees as
possible de-stress.
The other option is to have each
employee pay for their own massage. This method is not as preferable
because we usually see less participation from the employees, but we still see many take charge of their wellness and take advantage of the massage.
The frequency we come to your office is up to you. Maybe you want once
a week, every other week, or even once a month. Sometimes the
frequency is determined by the size of your staff. If we can't
accomodate everyone each time, then have us come more often so we each
employee is able to participate and no one is left out. If your
business is seasonal, we can alter our visits to you accordingly.
In these economic times, everyone is watching their bottom line, and we
fully understand that. But please remember, healthy, productive, loyal
employees are a very profitable asset to your company. Can you afford to not take care of them?
