Managing Stress

The negative effects of stress have become one of the most important health issues facing organisations today. With competition increasing, employers are expecting more from their employees than ever before. However, the cost of the increase in stress levels in the workplace are beginning to take their toll. The majority of UK businesses have a significant problem on their hands and unless they take steps to address it, it will begin to impact on their overall business performance.

Stress has become the primary reason for absence from work, accounting for 60% of all work absence.

Many medical consultations concern stress-related conditions. The major part of our lives is spent at work and thus what happens there is vitally important to our health and well-being. By allowing your staff ten to fifteen minutes for a holistic massage will improve their health and mental attitude to work.

Massage is one of the most popular alternative therapies in the UK today. Companies who include massage therapy in the workplace have reported increased alertness and creativity among their employees, decreased absenteeism and decreased reports of work-related stress and anxiety disorders.

	Increase in productivity and profitability.
	Decrease in sickness-related absences.

	Increase in morale and a happier working environment.
	Being able to clearly demonstrate a commitment towards your staff and their well-being.

Blue Faery Holistics can provide an on-site massage service to your company consisting of an upper-back, shoulders and neck massage conducted either with the employee seated at their desk or in a relatively quiet area away from the main workplace. The cost of this service is £5 for a 10-15 minute massage which may be funded by the employer, employee or employer-subsidised. As an alternative I can visit your workplace for a half-day or day for a competitive fixed-price fee.
