Are your employees overstressed

Are your employees overstressed?

 

From manufacturers to hospitals to auto dealerships, companies across the country are using massage services to make work literally les of a pain in the neck for employees.  Slouching at a desk for long periods often results in lower back pain.  Repetitive motion injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, are common among office workers.  A “stress-buster” massage relieves tension in neck, back and shoulder muscles, reducing irritability and increasing productivity.

 

Benefits

Studies by the Touch Therapy Research Institute in Florida show that benefits of massage have quick results.  Immediately after massage sessions the subjects experienced a change in brain waves in the direction of heightened alertness and better performance on math problems (completed in less time with fewer errors).

 

At the end of the 5 week study period, subjects reported reduced job stress and elevated moods.  This was in addition to the usual benefits of massage, relief of muscular tension, revitalized energy and a stronger immune system.

 

The study’s findings are significant in that the International Labor Organization stated in its 1993 World Labor Report that job stress costs the U.S. economy $200 billion annually through diminished productivity, compensation claims, absenteeism, health insurance and direct medical expenses.
