Spartan IQ - Benefits Of Complimentary Therapies In The Workplace

Reducing Stress, Improving Performance, Saving Cost There are many reasons why complementary therapy can benefit UK organisations and those organisations enlightened enough to provide it can gain financial and other benefits. It can also lead to a substantial growth in business for you. Some of the key reasons include: • Performance and Productivity improvements: Massage is proven to enhance cognitive function, concentration, creativity and working relationships and a fifteen-minute chair massage has been found to increase speed and accuracy on mathematical computations by as much as 50%. • Improved employee morale and motivation: Providing complementary therapies for employees is a clear sign that the employer genuinely cares about their staff. Employees feel better about their work and their workplace. • Improved corporate reputation: The fact that an employer cares about their staff enough to organise complementary treatments is something the organisation can be proud of. It improves their reputation and can help them attract higher quality new employees. • Reduced sickness: PwC estimates that the annual cost of sickness absence has climbed to almost £29 billion for UK organisations with the average employee being absent for 9.1 days per year. Your complementary therapies treatments can help reduce this for organisations you work with. As an example, an organisation employed a reflexologist for 3 years to help reduce employee stress. 235 employees took part in the programme resulting in a 25% reduction in sick leave and a saving of £110,000. Another example is Google, which has its own Massage Program Manager and has “massage going in multiple massage rooms eight hours a day, five days a week.” Visit Spartan IQ website to learn more about it.
