It is a disturbing fact that stress is the #1 cause of disability in workers. Can you recognize the symptoms of workplace stress in your employees?
- Tension headaches
- Lower back stiffness
- Upper back soreness
- Tight shoulders
- Aching wrists/forearms
Any and all of these can reduce employee productivity and impact your bottom line!
Studies have proven that massage reduces stress in employees.
The following is from www.holistic-online.com:
“A study by the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami found that after five weeks, a group of 26 employees who had twice-weekly, 15-minute massages in the office fared better than a control group of 24 employees who were just told to close their eyes and relax.
The massaged group experienced reduced stress and improved performance, while the control group did not. Using electroencephalograms (EEG), researchers measured alpha and beta waves in both groups, and found massage recipients to be more alert. Stress hormones in saliva of the massaged group were lower than in the control group.
The massaged workers completed math problems in half the time as normal and with half the errors they had before they were massaged. The math skills of the control group did not improve. The massage recipients also said they were less fatigued and more clear-headed.”
ZENITH massage offers a chair massage program designed to reduce workplace stress symptoms and increase productivity in your employees. A specially-designed, adjustable chair is used and sessions typically last from 10 to 15 minutes, the time of an employee break.
Chair massage rates are $1 per minute, and payment policies range from the employer paying 100% to the employee paying 100%.
Chair massage sessions are available Monday through Friday, with a minimum threshold of one hour (or $60) of chair massage time. ZENITH massage is happy to offer an initial FREE one-hour chair massage session at your workplace.
