Experts in the wellness industry and those focused on people development advocate that decision makers break away from the norm and leave the conventional ‘year-end company lunch’ behind by organising on-site massage treatments for staff.

Hands-on Treatment, an established Mobile Massage Company based in Johannesburg, provides on-site neck and shoulder chair massage service to the corporate sector, covering specialised labour-intensive areas such as call centres, events and exhibitions, amongst others.

The company has been a Proudly South African member since 2003 and in 2007 received the Proudly South African best SMME Service award. It also has a level BEE 4 status and is in the process of obtaining a level BEE 2 status.

In addition, Hands-On Treatment has been in the market for over ten years, has medical malpractice insurance and has established credibility via its affiliation to Proudly South Africa and standards monitoring body, BPeSA Gauteng (Call Centre & Business Process Outsourcing).

The core focus of the business is to provide employees and personnel in businesses with professional on-site neck and shoulder chair massages – an offering that is done at the client’s premises, with no impact on operations or requiring any downtime.

Year-end is the ideal time to organise a get-together that is a significantly healthier, less risk to people and is a direct investment in their wellbeing for the year ahead explains CEO Martina Laurie.

According to Laurie most businesses often organise a social at the end of the year and it is usually a very busy exercise, with lots of food and drink. Sometimes employees go overboard and also get behind the wheel.

Hands-On offers what Laurie describes as a far healthier alternative, that will also help employees relax.

“The benefits of this service include a boost to productivity, to energise and revitalise employees and encourage a healthy, harmonious working environment. This is an investment in your workforce, a social that is not only fun, but will have lasting benefits for the Company going forward,” explains Laurie.
