The Corporate Athlete has long been overlooked. I was a victim of overuse injuries three times around at the same job, sitting most of the day as a full-time seamstress. Until I started taking control of my own destiny. Unfortunately, my employer didn’t do things to help me work better. But now, Corporate wellness is not just the latest buzz. It has proven benefits…and it’s profitable. The physical and emotional health of your employees should be #1! And when they are healthy, so are business profits.
I worked Corporate Chair Massage events for Mohave County in Arizona 4-years! Plus Renaissance Fairs and other yearly city vendor booth events that came into town. I loved helping people who normally wouldn’t budge to make a full appointment. I brought awareness and showed them even the most basic of tips and stretches to do while at the office.
No one can understate the health benefits of massage.
- Companies typically save $3 – $6 for every $1 they invest in wellness programs over a two – five year period.4
- Stocks of companies honored for corporate health achievement outperform the stock market.5
Regular office massage is one of the most affordable wellness program ideas you can bring to your company – and one employees perceive as having a very high value. In fact, this is an excellent way to attract new talent and provide a healthier yet fun atmosphere all your employees can benefit from. Not only will this attract top talent, but it will help you retain them as well.
MASSAGE IMPROVES HEALTH
It’s a fact. Chair massage at work is much more than a warm and fuzzy feel-good perk. Massage increases blood and lymph circulation and is an accepted treatment for disorders that drain corporate profitability, such as back and neck pain and repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome.
On top of it all – massage releases the same kind of feel-good endorphins as an intense work-out – without the work. Here are some of the most notable health benefits of massage utilized in the workplace:
- Reduces stress and boosts immunity
- Enhances productivity
- Lessens fatigue and anxiety
- Promotes employee engagement
YOU CAN IGNITE WELLNESS!
Motivate employees to participate in your company’s other wellness initiatives by providing 15 minutes of chair massage once a week/month/quarter… Healthier, happier employees are likely to be more open to lifestyle changes involving exercise and nutrition.
THE BOTTOM LINE
You’ll see the bottom line improve as fewer employees call in sick and workers’ compensation claims are reduced, health care costs decline and employee productivity and problem-solving are enhanced.
Always check with your doctor before trying any new exercise or nutritional plan.
