October and November is called the silly season. Staff and management are all burning the candle from both ends to get all 2014 work done before the December break.

If you are a team leader at the workplace, and want to do something different for your year end function this year, consider Lunch and Spa Hands On Retreat in Craighall, Johannesburg, and spoil your team with a stress release pamper combined with lunch.  You can also combine a pamper session with breakfast, a picnic or high tea.

“For example, we can treat your guests to a fifteen minute seated neck and shoulder followed by a half-hour fall asleep foot pamper. Thereafter lunch, consisting of starter, main and desert, will be served on the patio or in the garden,” says Martina Laurie, CEO of Hands on Retreat.

Other options such as a Bakgat Braai or a Summer Harvest Table including a ten minute seated neck and shoulder massage are also on offer.

“Traditional year-end functions are costly and there are far too much logistic headaches to take care of,” Laurie adds. “Additionally, employers and employees have to consider factors like drinking and driving and taking responsibility. So, Hands on Retreat is a healthier, hassle-free alternative to marking the year-end milestone.”
