New Twist on Taxes
Tax Professionals Relieve Stress with On-site Chair Massages
(PHOENIX, Ariz., March 24, 2008) – Certified Public Accountant, Joanne Martone is in full swing this time of year. The tax professional and her staff of six have been working hard to prepare their client’s tax returns and provide end-of-year planning.
To help combat the stress of strict deadlines and 10 to 14-hour workdays, Joanne called upon The Back Rub Company, a valley on-site chair massage firm, to provide relief for her team.
“We all love massages and I wanted to give my team a thank you for all they do this time of year,” said Martone.
Joanne and her staff have been receiving 15 to 20-minute chair massages three times per month since mid- February and will continue their massage days through the end of April.
“We all look forward to massage day,” said Martone. “It seems to help release the tension that builds up during tax season.”
As employee’s workloads get heavier, more and more companies have found that implementing wellness programs at work have significantly increased their return on investment. A recent report by the Surgeon General states that corporate wellness programs return $1.95 - $3.75 per employee per dollar spent and has a cumulative economic benefit of $500 - $700 per worker per year.
Garrett Huffman, a massage therapist for The Back Rub Company, has made several visits to Joanne’s office. “I receive such great feedback from the staff,” said Huffman. “All of them have told me that it’s easier to perform their basic job functions. I’ve also heard that I have magical fingers and that the massages get better each time. Just a simple sigh of relief is my reward to know that they are able to perform their responsibilities at a higher production rate while experiencing less tension. It's been a joy working with Joanne and her staff.”
