Do you work long hours in an office environment Is your job stressful It may be comforting to know that you are not alone... This petition is for U.K. employees wanting to voice opinions on bringing office massage into the workplace and can be used as a tool to show management the general consensus of your office. Many U.K. office based employees work long hours and the current economic climate is making the workplace a particularly stressful place to be. Statistics from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and The 2007 Psychosocial Working Conditions (PWC) survey shows that work-related illnesses are increasing. The more stressful and high-pressure your work environment is due to cost cutting, budget trimming and layoffs, the more companies need a strategy for keeping morale high and absenteeism low.
