Advantages for Employers

Improved health and well being :

Massage therapy is proven to benefit mental well being, as well as physical health. Two of the most pressing concerns for employers are work-related stress and back pain. These are the most common reasons for worker absenteeism in the US. According to the American Institute of Stress, 40% of workers rate their job as ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ stressful, and 1 in 4 view work as the most significant stressor in their life. Figures from the American Chiropractic Association suggest that 264 million working days are lost each year as a result of back pain. Massage is proven to reduce stress levels and alleviate aches and pains. By providing chair massages on a regular basis, employers can promote better health and well being and reduce the risk of losing workers to work-related illness and injuries. Research also suggests that providing wellness benefits can encourage employees to make healthier lifestyle choices. Over 60% of people said that wellness programs at work have prompted them to take more interest in their health. 

Increased productivity and boosting morale

Every employer wants to get the best out of their team. Business owners depend on the people who work for them. If your team is happy and healthy and morale is high, your company will thrive.

Corporate massage is a means of lifting spirits and increasing productivity. CareerBuilder survey found 61% of workers burnt out. Even a 15-minute massage can help employees to clear their minds, relax and recharge their batteries.

Enhanced brand image and attracting top talent

Employers who prioritize employee well-being are well-regarded by current and potential staff. Providing benefits is an effective means of attracting top talent and of enhancing your brand image and reputation. Consumers appreciate good treatment of employees through benefits and incentives, reflecting well on your company. Almost 90% of workers at businesses that promote and support wellness initiatives would recommend their company to others. In companies with leaders uninterested in employee wellbeing, the figure drops to 17%. Some of the most high-profile businesses in the world, including Google and Facebook, provide massages for employees.
