Chair Massage and Productivity

Increasing Productivity

"Presenteeism" describes the feeling that you must show up for work even if you are too sick, stressed, or distracted to be productive.

The term was coined over a decade ago and there's been a lot of research in that time to show that productivity issues cost your company... big time: Presenteeism accounts for 61% of an employees total lost productivity and costs you an estimated $2000 per year per employee.

Employees working at diminished capacity cost employers $250 Billion/yr per year

The National Commission on Productivity (USA) has found that only two out of every ten of your employees are working at their full potential.

The culprit?

Stress.

Stress changes brain wave patterns and interferes with clear focused thinking. Employees can't concentrate on their work when they are preoccupied with emotional worries or physical problems like an aching back, tense shoulders, or a headache.

The Solution:

Massage increases productivity in the workplace

Helping employees manage their stress can have a near miraculous effect on productivity. A relaxed employee is alert, sharp and focused on the task at hand.

Researchers at the University of Miami went into the workplace and did two 15-minute massages a week for five weeks. Not only did workers have lowered anxiety levels, but they completed math tests in half the time and with 50 percent fewer errors! Who could possibly have imagined that massage would help you with your math!

There's no doubt about it. Workplace chair massage is a quick and inexpensive solution to a big and costly productivity problem.
