Relief from everyday stress and aches on the job is just fingertips away, now that more companies are bringing in “Heaven. The Massage” to their employees. Corporate chair massage is not new, but the way Valley-owned “Heaven. The Massage.” does it, is. They take the work out of it for HR / Benefits Directors. To begin with, employees pay for the massages, not the company. This is a welcome opportunity for frazzled workers, as massages are conveniently available and prices start at just $10 for a quarter hour.
Coming from a corporate management background, Scott Schaefer, co-owner of “Heaven. The Massage.” understands that the internal structure of every company is different. To accommodate each account, he evaluates the individual needs and caters a program designed exclusively for the client. Once the program is up and running, the massage therapists become responsible for scheduling future massages, not HR and Benefit directors. In addition, a therapist is permanently assigned to an account. Loyalty and understanding develops between them and the employees. Plus, the therapist becomes familiar with their aches, pains and stress. During the massage, the therapists focus on high-tension areas, such as the back, neck and shoulders, along with arms and hands to help prevent repetitive stress injuries.
“Heaven. The Massage” is also unique from other corporate chair massage businesses by providing internal promotions to maintain patronage and interest levels, such as frequent massage cards. Because of the amount of therapists on call and scheduled weekly to work, no company will ever have to worry about a cancellation, even if a few therapists call in sick. This makes “Heaven. The Massage” even more reputable, as HR / Benefits Directors know there will always be coverage.
“Companies are recognizing the need for an ongoing stress management program in the workplace," says Scott. "The effects of relief grow within these organizations. Even if an employee chooses not to participate in the massage program, they still benefit with an overall reduction of workplace stress because others are less stressed. Plus, a massage program is a great cost-free way for companies to show appreciation to their employees.
“Heaven. The Massage” is owned by Scott Schaefer and Laurie Boyle, LMT of Litchfield Park, AZ. All therapists on staff are state licensed and liability insured. Some valley companies who benefit from “Heaven. The Massage” includes Dial Corporation, Arizona Republic, City of Chandler, Sears Customer Service Center.
