Corporate ReflexologyWhether you are a large or small company, it makes sense to look after your biggest asset – your employees. Many companies are now looking at staff wellbeing programs and are discovering the benefits of a happy and healthy workforce!
By introducing employees to in-house therapy treatments, stress is greatly reduced, leading to increased motivation, reduced staff turnover and less absenteeism. |
The effect of stress at work
Approximately 360 million working days are lost in the UK every year at a cost of £8 billion, and half of these absences are stress related.
It is amazing to think that up to 75% of illness is stress related and the average annual cost of this is a staggering £13 billion.
Some businesses in this, and other countries now involve Complementary therapists in the maintenance of well being amongst their workforce, yielding some impressive results.

How will this work for your company?
Treatments are carried out in-house and the practitioner brings a special chair for the client to sit in. Treatments can take between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the time-scale available.
Each company chooses its own level of involvement. In some businesses, each employee is fully responsible for the cost of their own treatments. Other companies chose to subsidise the treatments for their staff. Whatever works for your company.
The therapist requires a small, private room to practice from in-house, and a method of promoting the service internally.
If your business is interested in providing a Reflexology service for its staff, I will be happy to offer a free consultation to discuss your organisation’s needs.
