For Healthy & Productive
Staff
It is generally accepted
that more days are lost to employers through back related pains and
stress than any other reason. As back pain is an 'invisible' condition
it is notoriously hard to disprove or dispute.
Every job
has its drawbacks. For those driving during the course of their employment,
or those sat at workstations or VDUs, there is a particularly high
risk of back, neck and shoulder related stress injury. Those staff
who are required to lift are particularly at risk from back injury,
and even being able to prove that proper manual handling training
has taken place does not necessarily exempt the employer from liability.
Installing
Inada Massage Chairs into places of employment has manifold benefits:
- Massage chairs greatly reduce stress and stress
related conditions; our jobs are one of the primary causes of stress
- Because Inada Massage Chairs provide physical relief
from aches and pains as well as the emotional and psychological
effects of stress, installing one at work can have direct benefit
on employee's health.
- Employees should perceive the installation of an
Inada Massage Chair as a benefit and may be less likely to be absent
from work. The chair will engender within the staff a feeling of
value and importance. It is an established principle that employers
who reward their staff are in turn rewarded by increased productivity
and loyalty.
- Employees struggling to work their way up through
their chosen career path very often work long and tiring hours.
Doing so demonstrates their commitment and enthusiasm, but very
often tired or over-worked staff may not be performing at their
best! A fifteen minute break to relax and de-stress in a massage
chair revitalizes and refreshes, often enabling the employee to
concentrate better afterwards, work more efficiently and be more
productive.
On the
Opposite Side of the Coin:
It can be argued that employers who fail in their duty of care could be held directly responsible for not taking sufficient preventative measures to care for their staff. Staff who can prove that their employers were negligent in caring sufficiently well for them may have a case against their employers.
Show your employees that you care, and protect yourself in the process!
Install an Inada Massage Chair now and reap the rewards of increased employee loyalty, efficiency and productivity.
