Workplace well-being is becoming a hot topic for many employers in the UK and worldwide. In the Work-related Stress, Anxiety or Depression Statistics in Great Britain paper published in October 2019, over 602,000 cases of work-related mental ill-health were reported, totalling 12.8 million working days lost. 44% of this was caused by workload. Sadly, there are many more unreported incidents, as many employees feel unable to report mental health reasons for work absence.
This means that there are likely to be people living and working with stress in your business today. Stress affects productivity through both absenteeism and presenteeism which in turn affects profit margins.
Finding cost effective ways for businesses to support their workforce by promoting positive mental health, is becoming a big trend. Helping employees to reduce their stress levels also makes them heathier, happier, more balanced, with improved overall well-being.
Regular on-site visits from complementary therapists to your business is one way to do this. By offering treatments such as massage and reflexology to each employee, you can empower your employees to make a healthy choice for their stress levels.
All you need to do is provide a suitable space and advertise the service to your staff. In return you get a workforce – which according to data collected in Denmark – has improved wellbeing, with lower absenteeism and a higher regard of your company as an employer.

Some insurers that provide Reflexology and massage in some of their health plans include:
As you can see from these testimonials, other businesses offer on-site reflexology and their employees find it very beneficial.
