“Taking care of people takes care of business”

Corporate Acupuncture

Corporate Stress

Stress is a part of corporate life and of the corporate experience. The pressures of relocation and travel as well as the work itself affect employees, their spouses and their children. Symptoms of stress can range from the emotional, such as depression and irritability, to the physical: aches, pains and named illnesses.

A recent report by the Health and Safety Executive in the UK, for example, shows 83% of employers believe stress affects productivity.

Stress damages productivity and increases staff turnover and absenteeism.

Acupuncture reduces stress and increases staff productivity

Acupuncture is now recognized as one of the fastest growing patient-choice treatments in the West. In Asia it is long established as a valued and respected traditional medicine.

Corporate stress in Malaysia

“There is considerable cost for the individual employee relating to these problems in terms of physical and mental health problems, employment implications and the risk of job loss. For the enterprises, these problems result in direct costs, such as increased absenteeism, staff turnover, reduced productivity, training and retraining, as well as in indirect costs, such as reduced motivation, satisfaction and creativity and public relations problems. Their overall impact greatly reduces the competitiveness of the enterprise. What is known probably represents only the tip of the iceberg. The costs relating to these problems are only beginning to be understood and quantified.”
