Wellness in the Workplace, a Massage Revolution!
by Andy Betts
How do you say thank you to your
hard working employees and staff…Pizza
Friday’s? Coffee shop gift cards? Happy
hour? Or maybe you don’t say much at
all…. did you ever consider the gift of
massage in the workplace? Event Massage
Services provides licensed massage therapists
to arrive at your workplace prepared
and ready to administer fully clothed chair
massage in our ergonomically correct
massage chairs.
Chair massage is a great way of
showing your appreciation to the people
who mean the most to you at work, day
in and day out, you can incorporate it into
your employee wellness program to create
wellness in the workplace!! All you have
to do is create a sign-up sheet and give one
copy to the lucky recipients and one copy
to the therapist/s, that’s your only job and
you become the hero!
When your workforce understands
that they are appreciated in this way,
it has been proven to create employee
retention as they realize that they’re not
just a number at your company. Aside
from employee retention the benefits are
plentiful including, but not limited to,
better attitudes, relaxed muscles, increased
circulation, clarity of mind, improved
morale, improved results, fewer sick days,
“
Chair massage is a
great way of showing your
appreciation to the people
who mean the most to you
at work, day in and day out
increased range of motion, and the list
goes on and on.
Event Massage Services was created
in 2001 by English native Andy Betts,
a massage therapist himself who had a
vision of bringing massage to the masses.
There was a need in the progressive
market that wasn’t being met in regards to
wellness in the workplace and the companies
in the know started to call.
Large corporations such as Sprint,
Chase, Sony, Marriot Hotels, Ernst
&Young, numerous law firms, real estate
offices and so on requested chair massage
for their employees as an employee appreciation
perk along with smaller employers
with a workforce of as little as five people.
Google was one of the innovative
companies to incorporate the benefits of
massage as part of their everyday culture
for their employees, and many companies
paid attention to their results. Once a week,
once every two weeks or once a month are
the frequencies requested depending on
each individual company’s budget.
Similar organizations utilized the
service and paid for EMS to be at their
conventions, trade shows and conferences
as a traffic builder for their exhibitors and
a unique sponsorship opportunity for VIP
areas and recharge stations. Attendees
get tired of candy, trinkets and useless
giveaways at these events so when they
see free massages being given away a
line forms at the booth and the salespeople
have a captive audience to scan
their badges, strut their stuff and obtain
business. How can Event Massage Services
serve you at your workplace or your
convention? Let them make you the star
of the show!
