Employees are among the greatest assets of any business and their health and wellbeing should not be overlooked.
Health related absence from work has lead to an estimated £29 billion loss to organisations throughout the UK.
According to the Office of National Statistics, the greatest number of working days have been lost due to musculoskeletal problems such as back, neck and shoulder pain. The figure equates 30.6 million days lost each year, representing nearly a quarter of all absences from work in the UK.
This is more than the number of days taken off for colds.
The same report stated that almost 12% of all work absences, 15.2 million days, were taken off work due to mental health problems such as stress, anxiety and depression.
The Health and Safety Executive states that 9.9 million working days are lost because of work-related stress. This accounts for 35% of all work-related illness, with an average of 23 days lost per individual case.
Similarly an estimated 9.5 million working days are lost because of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. (WRMSD's) with an average of 17 days lost per case.
WRMSD'S account for 40% of all work-related ill health in 2014/15.
The pressure of balancing work, family life, commute and longer working hours contributes to elevated stress levels and fatigue. Long periods sitting at a desk or standing takes its toll on the body leading to poor posture which results in stiffness, aches and pains in the muscles and joints. The body tries to compensate for discomfort and muscle weakness, leading to muscle imbalance and a more complex injury pattern.
Massage treatment given in the workplace not only reduces the likelihood of WRMSD'S but also reduces stress levels, increases well being, helps the employee feel well supported in their work, and creates a positive working environment.
