A Washington Post article stated that “work is a marathon, it’s not a sprint. You really have to be there for a long period of time, and to do that, you have to take care of yourself.” So, how do we go about this? Mobile chair massage, yoga, and nutritional seminars are all cost-effective options that enhance personal wellness and encourage self-care within the workplace.
Wellness programs continue to rise in all types of businesses, and the payoff is highly valuable to employees and employers alike. The same article explains that “companies benefit from wellness programs — studies show that companies save $3 for every $1 they invest in health programs”. Evidence has shown that investing in employee wellness initiatives not only improves employee health and well-being, but also improves productivity and engagement, resulting in fewer sick days and a “healthier” bottom line.
“Whether it’s building meditation and yoga into the workday or providing a quiet room for a massage, full-service workspaces aim to make sure work isn’t the only focus, but when it is, it’s laser-sharp.”
In addition to wellness programs, here are a few other easy ways to prioritize your well-being while also helping to maximize your productivity in the office:
- Add a plant to your office to improve air quality and create a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing workspace
- Bring in a desk lamp to add more light, or to use as an alternative to unpleasant overhead fluorescent lighting
- Switch out your office chair to one that allows for better ergonomics and posture
- Add additional storage space for better organization, helping you to be more efficient and productive with your time
- Slightly shift the position and angle of your computer monitor which can make a HUGE difference in neck and eye strain
Think about how your office would benefit from additional wellness amenities such as yoga, relaxation rooms, on-site chair massage, etc, and the ease of having these amenities on site, subsequently decreasing stress and improving productivity. Like many others, I say “Yes, please!”

Got the knot!!
“I had been seeing a chiropractor for about a month, but was still waking up hurting with a knot in my back, right between my shoulder blades. Janet found the problem area and worked it over for 15 minutes straight. When I walked out, I could feel the difference; the pain-free range of motion was amazing. Great work in just a few minutes!”
