Logistics company leading the way in corporate wellness
Bleckmann uses seated acupressure massage services during Mental Health Awareness week to enhance staff wellbeing
During Mental Health Awareness Week, I had the pleasure of attending Bleckmann on Magna Park in Lutterworth to treat some of their staff to a Seated Acupressure Chair Massage session.
Bleckmann is an international logistics company specialising in the fashion and lifestyle industry and over the 2 days that I attended both their sites in Lutterworth, I treated 33 staff members each to a 15 minute acupressure session.
Most often, organisations will use this service for office staff who spend long hours sat at a desk working in front of computer monitors. This type of work leaves staff prone to back pain, headaches and fatigue and I know this from my own experiences. Most of the staff members that were treated were warehouse operatives who tend to undertake more manual forms of work so there was no “them and us”. The service was open to all.
I sensed no doom and gloom at all and on speaking to all staff members, every one of them said how happy they were working at Bleckmann with one stating that it’s like a big family. These comments impressed me as corporate wellbeing is something that I have been passionate about for sometime since my career in law enforcement. Also, the look of gratitude and exhilaration was great to see after their massage session.
Bleckmann’s HR Business Partner Nicola McClusky told me that the organisation recognised the importance of having a happy workforce and they often looked at ways of supporting and holding different activities to support staff across the whole organisation. Nicola also stated that Mental Health Awareness Week was the ideal opportunity to have this service due to its positive benefits.
This is clearly an organisation that understands that staff wellness creates a positive and cohesive workforce and I had an enjoyable and positive two days with them.
