create employee motivation and corporate wellness

Positive Psychology, the scientific study of well-being, is increasingly recognised as having potentially major, lasting benefits in the workplace, with evidence showing that employees with higher levels of well-being are more focused and engaged with their work, have more motivation, less stress-related illness and absenteeism, are better team-players and perform better overall.

 

 

Today’s corporate leaders acknowledge the importance of having a holistic approach to business, and have come to realise that continual programmes of employee reward and recognition are the answer to creating and maintaining corporate wellness.

 

A successful reward programme is not just for Christmas

 

According to the latest market research, non-cash rewards are by far the most appropriate means of rewarding employees; cash does not motivate, it pays bills! A personal non-cash reward generates a physical transaction which leads to a positive reaction.

 

Providing on-site therapy treatments to your staff or rewarding them with therapy gift vouchers, which hold a tangible, high perceived value for recipients, offer a much appreciated personal touch and create a wealth of goodwill and loyalty.

The latest stats on the HSE website show that 28.5 million working days were lost overall in 2009/10 due to ill health (1.2 days per worker), with musculoskeletal disorders, mainly affecting the back and upper limbs or neck, followed by stress, depression or anxiety, being the most commonly reported illness types. Industry sectors with ill health rates statistically significantly higher than the rate for all industries were health and social work, and public administration. See guidance for both businesses and employees at http://www.hse.gov.uk/guidance/index.htm recommending physical therapy as an ongoing way of preventing and coping with these challenges.

 

Whether you’re self-employed looking to improve your personal lifestyle, health and wellbeing, or an employer aiming to create employee motivation and corporate wellness, I am here to support you in making a good start to the new year.

 

 

Recommended therapy services for the workplace environment:

 

• Aromatherapy and Massage
• Reflexology
• Indian Head Massage
• Neck and Shoulder Massage

Whether £10/£20 value or custom made, these are individually numbered and valid for 12 months from issue date, professionally printed, stylish and unisex, most suitable for work/office environments, to reward staff or colleagues and show your care for their personal well-being.

 

The recipient can choose to sample aromatherapy, massage, reflexology and Reiki individually or enjoy a fusion treatment combining bodywork and energy balancing. The gift vouchers can also be redeemed against the cost of bespoke aromatherapy products/natural skincare or part/purchase Reiki training courses.

JUNIPER HOUSE THERAPY TASTER DAY, 18th August 09, from 10am to 2pm

Dear All,

This post is addressing exclusively staff at JUNIPER HOUSE/LBWF, and aims to facilitate the therapy tasters booking process for the 18th August, 10am-2pm

Pick your favourite or try a new treat:

Neck & Shoulder/Indian Head Massage - Massage to this area induces tranquillity, releases anxiety, improves alertness and focus, memory & concentration, and relieves tension headache, mental and physical tiredness, edginess and depression. Indian head massage includes a facial pressure point sequence beneficial to people suffering with hay fever, sinusitis and other congestive conditions, and generally promotes good blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.

Body Massage - My massage techniques are adapted for office environments, so that there’s no need to use oils and the treatment is received fully clothed, therefore you can enjoy a fantastic back massage and return to work totally comfortable, relaxed and revitalised.

REIKI (pronounced “ray-key”) means Universal Life-Force Energy. Healing occurs on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. It enables the receiver to cope with day-to-day stress, it promotes deeper self-awareness and integration.

Reflexology - a gentle holistic complementary therapy involving treatment to reflex areas in feet &/or hands to promote healthy energy flow and bring about balance and selfhealing. It looks and feels like a hand or foot massage, but there's much more to it than that!

Therapy Combinations are very effective, and I would highly recommend them, as generally a fusion of bodywork and energy balancing has a more holistic and profound effect. Massage and Reflexology combine very successfully with Reiki in any length of treatment: 15min Indian head massage + 15min Reiki, for instance, would relieve stress, sharpen the mind and increase vitality.

Once you've tried all the individual therapies by themselves, you might like to try a pick & mix: a 15min back massage combined with 15min Indian head massage, 15min reflexology and 15min Reiki, adding up to a restorative and re-energising full hour treatment, can make an amazing difference.

TO MAKE A BOOKING:
Check my availability for the taster day online (please see schedule below), then
complete the Initial Consultation Form received by internal mail and email it to me at holistic_treats@yahoo.co.uk along with your full contact details, preferred treatment and time

No Current Availability

Please contact me if you need to discuss your treatment plan or any other details.

To make it easier for you to choose, the rate is the same for all therapies: £10/15min
Payment is required in full, cash or cheque, before your scheduled treatment.

Please arrive 1-2min early, so you can make the most of your 15min of bliss!!

FREEBEE on the day: everybody can have a quick chakra balancing in addition to their booked treatment, to harmonize your energy centres and give you an alltogether mind, body & soul experience

And there's more: BE A WINNER!

Post your feedback after you've enjoyed your first HolisticTreat and you're in with a chance to win a FREE 15min TREAT OF YOUR CHOICE - 3 lucky winners will be chosen at random from all the comments entered on this blog post by the 21st August ’09.

“Penny for your thought” has never been more therapeutic!

I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you soon.

Kindest regards and best wishes,

Using On-Site Therapies to Achieve Positive Psychology at Work

According to HSE statistics, an estimated 8.8 million working days (full-day equivalent) were lost in 2007/08 through musculoskeletal disorders caused or made worse by work, while self-reported work-related stress, depression or anxiety accounted for an estimated 13.5 million lost working days.

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of well-being, which is increasingly recognised as having potentially major, lasting benefits in the workplace, with evidence showing that employees with higher levels of well-being are more focused and engaged with their work, have more motivation, less stress-related illness & absenteeism, are better team-players and perform better overall.

How can HolisticTreats help you achieve well-being at work?

Neck & Shoulder/Indian Head Massage is a valuable technique for combating stress, which can manifest as hunched shoulders, tension headache, migraine, hair loss, psoriasis, eye strain, besides physical/mental exhaustion & emotional turmoil. Massage to the upper back, arms, shoulders, neck and head induces tranquillity, releases anxiety, improves alertness and focus, memory & concentration, and relieves mental and physical tiredness, edginess and depression.

Aromatherapy & Massage can be a true blessing and your employees will love you for literally taking such great care of their back — for larger organisations that have the space available to set up a treatment room on their premises, this service can really make a difference. Massage techniques can be adapted so that treatment is received fully clothed.

REIKI (pronounced “ray-key”) means Universal Life-force Energy, and the therapist’s ability to bring about healing is gained through energy attunements/ empowerments, which open and clear a channel in the giver for energy to flow through to wherever it is most needed in the receiver. Healing occurs on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level, which makes REIKI a truly holistic approach to well-being. It has a balancing effect and enables the receiver to cope with day-to-day stress.

Reflexology – a gentle holistic complementary therapy that involves treatment by massage to the reflex areas in the feet and/or hands to restore natural processes and energy flow, induce relaxation, encourage cleansing/detoxing and support the body's self healing ability.

These highly effective treatments are very convenient as they are received fully clothed, and a 15 minutes session makes an immediate, remarkable improvement to staff well-being, inducing a sense of health and a positive attitude, helping the receiver to focus on work issues.

If your work place is not suitable for therapy or can’t spare the time but you would like your employees to benefit from receiving treatments in their own time, alternative
arrangements can be made, including awarding them HolisticTreats Therapy Gift Vouchers, which can be standard £10 or £20 value or custom made.

Besides the hands-on approach to holistic health in the workplace, self-development workshops and courses can be of great benefit too.

Contact me to discuss details of how we can make it happen.

Holistic Fusion in the Workplace - wouldn't that be great!

It's not just wishful thinking - you really can have it all!

Therapy Combination Treatments are very effective, as generally a fusion of bodywork and energy balancing has a more holistic and profound effect.

Massage and Reflexology combine very successfully with Reiki in any length of treatment: 15min Indian head massage + 15min Reiki, for instance, would relieve stress, sharpen the mind and increase vitality.

Alternatively one can choose to have a 15min back massage combined with 15min Indian head massage, 15min reflexology and 15min Reiki, adding up to a restorative and re-energising full hour treatment that can make an amazing difference.

What's your favourite combination?
