How do workplace wellbeing programs impact employee retention?
Workplace wellbeing programs significantly impact employee retention by fostering a supportive environment that prioritises employee health and happiness. When employees feel that their employer cares about their wellbeing, they are more likely to be engaged and satisfied with their jobs, which reduces turnover rates. These programs promote a positive workplace culture, enhancing employee loyalty and commitment to the organisation.
Additionally, wellbeing initiatives often provide opportunities for personal and professional growth, making employees feel valued and invested in their development. By addressing physical, mental, and emotional health, these programs help prevent burnout and increase job satisfaction, ultimately leading to a more stable workforce and improved retention rates.
Are there any corporate wellness packages?
Yes, there are. With Blys, you can combine any of the Blys corporate massage, beauty or wellness services to create a day dedicated to looking after your team.
This could be a chair massage combined with a group meditation session or yoga or pilates class. You can also book beauty treatments for the team – a nail bar, a makeup station or a hairstylist.
To create a custom wellness package, enquire with one of our workplace wellness consultants for a free quote.
How many people should I book for?
Booking for an office event can be quite challenging, however, as a general rule, the uptake of massage is around 70%. So, if you have an office of around 50 people, you should expect around 35 attendees. If you consider 15 minutes of seated massage for each of the 35 team members, this would be around 9 hours in total. This is just a tentative guide, and it is a good idea to ask around the workplace in advance to gauge the interest.
Do I need to provide anything for the massage therapist?
No, you don’t need to provide anything for the massage therapist. They will arrive with ergonomic massage chairs (or any other massage equipment, depending on the service you’ve chosen), disposables, music, and everything required to create a relaxing massage station. You just need to have sufficient space of either 1.5 x 1m for chair massage or 2.5 x 1.5m for table massage.
What hours do you operate?
Blys is available from 6 am till 11 pm, 7 days a week. Weekend or after hours bookings are also available at a small surcharge.
What if I want to extend on the day?
You can definitely extend on the day itself, provided your therapist is available. However, you will need to get in touch with our team for more details.
How does parking work?
Mobile wellness providers are required to bring quite a bit of equipment and therefore parking on the premise is preferred. If that isn’t available, we’ll ask you to specify the closest spot to park and if it requires any costs to be covered.
How much notice do I have to provide?
We require 48 hours notice to secure your booking.
How long are individual sessions?
Session times are flexible. The minimum time per employee is 10 mins, while the maximum is 2 hours.
Can in-office massage be tax deductible or rebates be provided?
Corporate massage services may be 100% tax deductible if offered free to staff (pending approval from your company’s finance team). However, health insurers do not usually provide rebates for in-office massage.
Why is corporate wellness so important?
Looking after a teams wellbeing is critical to your success as a business. Investing and prioritising workplace wellbeing will not only positively impact team culture, it will also boost team productivity so business goals are met.
When employees are given the support to thrive, this results in higher engagement, motivation, wellbeing, development and retention.

What to consider when choosing a corporate wellness solution?
When choosing a corporate wellness solution, it’s important to consider several key factors to ensure it meets the needs of your organisation and employees:
- Employee needs and preferences: Conduct surveys or assessments to understand the specific health and wellness interests of your employees, ensuring the program aligns with their needs.
- Program variety: Look for a solution that offers a diverse range of services, such as fitness activities, mental health support, nutrition guidance, and relaxation techniques, to cater to different employee preferences.
- Customisation options: Choose a program that can be tailored to your company’s culture and specific goals, allowing for adjustments based on employee feedback and participation levels.
- Engagement strategies: Evaluate how the program encourages employee participation and engagement, such as incentives, challenges, or gamification elements to motivate employees.
- Budget considerations: Assess the costs associated with the wellness solution, including any hidden fees, and ensure it aligns with your organisation’s budget for employee benefits.
By taking these factors into account, organisations can select a corporate wellness solution that effectively supports employee wellbeing and contributes to a healthier workplace culture.
Do I need to allocate a separate room?
Not really. Having onsite chair massage or seated massage is quite manageable in your usual communal workplace setting. However, having a separate room/space can be beneficial to create a private, relaxing ambience.
Do you use any massage oil?
No, therapists you book via the platform do not use any oil for office massages, as they are performed fully clothed. This makes it very practical for the work place or event you’re based in.
Are therapists vetted and insured?
All therapists on the Blys platform are carefully vetted and must complete a comprehensive onboarding process before joining the platform. We require providers to have relevant experience for the services they offer, valid insurance and police checks as well while they sign up. We also have an internal rating system for our providers, which helps you decide which therapists to book for your event.
What hygiene procedures do therapists maintain?
The massage chair your therapist uses for your office massage session is always wiped down with antibacterial between every client, and they are required to use a disposable paper cover/lining every time.
What is a contraindication?
A contraindication is an injury or medical condition that may require therapists to modify, and in very rare cases refrain from doing massage. For example. if you or any of your team members has a strained wrist, your therapist could still massage the neck and shoulders, but just avoid the injured area. But if they have had a recent surgery, there will be an absolute contraindication, refraining the therapist from working on them. Generally the therapist can modify the sequence to make it safe and enjoyable.
