7 advantages of a corporate spa day
After several years of challenges, it’s not surprising that employees are feeling unnecessarily anxious and stressed. There’s a growing trend of what’s been coined ‘quiet quitting’, whereby employees feel that placing their own lives ahead of work is necessary for mental health – which is understandable.
They’re feeling unappreciated by big business and are doing only the tasks absolutely required of them. It’s important that companies now find new ways to engage with these ‘actively disengaged’ employees, and this means showing appreciation for them. A good first step is hosting a corporate spa day where they’re pampered, showered with love and shown that they’re more than just a number. Here are some of the benefits.
What are the benefits of a corporate spa day?
Taking a personal spa day is expensive and time-consuming, so many people have never even had the opportunity to experience it. But a spa day has so many benefits, especially for those who are working hard at their jobs.
1. A spa day decreases stress
The most important thing about stepping into a corporate spa package is that completely soothes and calms the mind. From the soul-replenishing sounds and smells to the actual treatments, a corporate spa day is everything you need and more. If you’re going to really treat your staff, let them give some input on the treatments they’d prefer – what de-stresses one person might not work for another.
2. A spa day makes you happier
When you get a massage or other spa treatment, your body actually releases higher levels of serotonin and dopamine which improves the mood. This is a great way to take a break from the demands of everyday life, relax and enjoy the moment. It truly is a real treat.
3. A spa day reduces tension headaches
For staff that work at computers a lot – and that’s most of us – tension headaches can be a real problem. Fortunately, a corporate spa day is just the answer! Body-focused or head and foot massages will ease the tension which reduces headaches.
4. A spa day relieves aches and pains
Beyond headaches, working can result in aches and pains across the body, with the lower back often impacted. A corporate spa day will target this muscular tension and release the chronic aches and pains experienced by hard-working employees.
5. A spa day improves circulation
Sitting at a desk all day is incredibly bad for circulation which is why a corporate spa day is another great option. A relaxing massage will improve the blood flow and circulation which is beneficial for your muscles, heart and lungs. It is also known to improve your immune system, keeping you healthier as well.
6. A spa day improves confidence
Some of the aesthetic benefits of a corporate spa day are that people will benefit from improved skin and a healthier overall look which boosts their confidence. No matter what way you look at it, they’re going to feel much better leaving the spa than they did entering it.
7. A spa day creates social cohesion
Another wonderful benefit of a spa day is that your office is enjoying it together which makes for teambuilding. When you get everyone on the same team, they’re looking out for each other and there is less likelihood of office tension and ‘quiet quitting’. You can even take it a step further and provide them with a meal or champagne to really treat them.
When you have a staff that is happier, more relaxed and working together, you’re benefitting from a more productive workforce. Why not get spring off to a fantastic start and treat your employees to a corporate spa day with Evolve Day Spa?
