Work massage

Work massage helps to reduce the stress levels of your employees. Work-related stress accounts for over a third of all new incidences of ill health and employers lost a total of 13.5 million working days to work-related stress, depression and anxiety in 2007/08 (HSE). The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (1999) requires companies to assess risks from hazards at work, explicitly mentioning the danger of employees developing stress-related illness as a result of their jobs. Massage enables companies to meet these legal health and safety requirements and massage will improve work performance. Massage works by decreasing blood pressure, calming the nervous system and boosting morale, thereby reducing stress levels among the workforce. As part of a comprehensive health and safety strategy, massage can help to effectively tackle stress in the workplace.
