In the Workplace
Business demands increasingly put more and more pressure on all levels of staff. Many companies do try to relieve this, but often the solutions put in place do not help employees deal with stress.
Approximately 80% of all illnesses are stress related and stress can show itself in different ways, e.g.:
- Significantly reduced efficiency and accuracy of work
- Reduced ability to perform physical tasks
- Poor planning, decision-making and creativity
- Tiredness and irritability
- Weakened immune system and increased susceptibility to physical illness
The long-term result for staff can be low morale, high absenteeism and high turnover.
Naturally any business needs to maximise staff efficiency, and so helping employees cope positively with stress is very important. In doing this we do not recommend that stress be completely eliminated from the workplace because a certain level of stress helps us perform and what is stressful for one person can be an incentive for another.
The introduction of regular onsite Reflexology and/or Massage Therapy can help increase a person's ability to cope more effectively under pressure and thus reduce stress and tension. This, in turn, can bring about a wealth of positive changes in the workplace:
- The general health of staff is improved and thereby resistance to infection and disease is increased
- Concentration, efficiency and accuracy is enhanced
- Creativity, planning and decision making is improved
- Staff morale, satisfaction and loyalty is increased as staff feel appreciated and comforted that you have their best interests in mind
- Relief is provided for stress related conditions, such as headaches and migraines
- Speed of recovery and return to work after illness, accident or surgery is increased
- Optimum healthcare provision for staff as it complements conventional medicine
Reflexology and Massage treatments are specially adapted and take 30 minutes. Workplace visits have a wider catchment area than home visits and prices are negotiated in advance. For more information about therapies in your workplace, call Jo on 07946 844159
