On-the-job stress can be attributed to shifts in corporate structure, company growth, large projects and the daily competitiveness within a company. Physical conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, fatigue, the common cold and other illnesses can be easily contracted in your work environment. Massage therapy has been shown to alleviate work-related stress and build immunity. Companies that offer massage program benefits to their employees not only have happier employees but also healthier employees who feel appreciated and in turn excel at their jobs!
Many corporations and small businesses have found corporate massage programs to be a highly desired benefit that attracts quality employees and can aid in employment retention. Also cited are benefits such as a decline in turnover rates, an increase in problem-solving aptitude and heightened morale. It’s clear to see why the leading Fortune 500 companies offer massage as part of their employee benefit program.
