"Health-care providers are a stressed-out group, with 45 per cent reporting that most of their days at work are quite or extremely stressful, according to 2003 data reported by Statistics Canada." -CBC News, 2007 |
A.C.T. at your hospital
Few employees deserve workplace massage more than those in healthcare. We all know that the responsibilities of health care workers (such as nurses) can be physically and mentally exhausting, demanding patience and resolve under the most stressful situations.
We also know that these high stress jobs correlate with high turnover rates, absenteeism and above-average sick days. With the introduction of a massage program in your healthcare workplace, you’ll discover that your staff will be happier, will work harder, and will function more as a team.
"67%, of head nurses and nurse supervisors reported high work stress, among the highest levels found in all health care occupations." -National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE), 2007

Long hours working under stressful conditions contribute to more injuries and illness resulting in an unhappy employee.
