Mental Health

Tackling poor mental health issues upon return to work following the pandemic could be a huge challenge for you as an employer. Some people may have suffered illness, hospitalisation, family bereavement, others may have kept well physically but encountered bouts of anxiety, stress, loneliness, or depression due to the fear of catching the virus or just the uncertainty of the whole situation.

It is a good opportunity to review what you have in place. The benefits of group activities are well documented, e.g., being part of a team, creating conversations, and scheduling non-work activities during the working day to encourage employees to take breaks.

Hands On At Work therapists are a talented bunch. Take a look at these workshops:

Mindfulness – online or in the workplace

Who wouldn’t like the idea of a massage at work?

Workplace massage is a highly popular employee perk that also has benefits for business.

But who is it for?

The onsite seated acupressure massage is ideal for all employees and of all ages.

Targeting areas of tension and muscle soreness in your back, neck and shoulders, arms and hands, provides relief from muscle aches and pains often aggravated by repetitive strain and posture-related issues.

Adapted to suit you, it can be a firm but relaxing massage or an Indian Head massage. If you prefer the massage can be more invigorating, deeper, and stronger. Different techniques will be used depending on what you need and incorporate stretching to encourage movement during your day. It is carried out over clothing, so no oils are used making it ideal for workplaces in all sectors.

For regular visits, we can advise a treatment plan so as the therapist becomes aware of particular issues the massage will be adapted to address those specifically. All of our therapists are fully qualified in the treatments they provide and will provide you with after-care advice to ensure the benefits of the massage are continued between visits.

Please note that currently, due to Coronavirus restrictions and Government guidelines, additional time is required between appointments to allow for enhanced hygiene and ventilation of rooms. Therapists will also wear PPE and a Covid-19 specific risk assessment will be agreed upon with you before our visit.

Stimulate a positive attitude towards work

Employees who know their hard work and efforts are recognised by their employer will go that extra mile, feel part of a team, and be more inclined to have a positive attitude towards their work. This leads to an engaged and cohesive team which in turn reflects excellent customer service keeping your clients happy and loyal to you.

Onsite massage and wellbeing services are ideal for employee benefits and reward schemes and prove to be a popular benefit with a high take up rate.

Rewards Schemes could include:

• Where teams hit targets
• Complete stressful projects
• Inter-team competition

Raising funds for charity is another way our services can be used, offer massages in return for donations to your favourite charity.
