Many workplaces have already become familiar with visiting massage therapists. In the traditional model, independent contractors arrange the work themselves, come to the location, and provide the service. Perhaps there will be future arrangements. In this case, you already need to know and agree on which day you want the massage therapist to come.
Bluumo's approach differs slightly from this. The extensive network of professionals behind Bluumo's online store ensures delivery reliability and the ability to conveniently order various types of massages directly from the online store to meet your needs. You can also easily switch massage therapists if necessary. Sometimes you may want to order Thai massages for everyone, in which case you can conveniently order directly from this professional. Another time, you might be interested in trying the highly praised chair massage, for which there is also a suitable professional. Additionally, Bluumo offers various payment methods, content for different events, and can tailor a suitable way to appreciate your employees specifically for your company.
How can an employer use Bluumo?
An employer can use Bluumo in various ways. Each workplace can implement Bluumo according to its own preferences, and at a minimum, the employer can allow employees to independently order services at their own expense. We have also fulfilled creative requests, such as hiring a massage therapist to invigorate participants in a long business meeting on the fly during the meeting.
- According to the guidance provided by the Tax Administration on January 31, 2023, employers can provide massages to employees as a tax-exempt gift, as part of event programs (e.g., Christmas parties, summer events, year-end parties), or as recreational and hobby activities organized by the employer.
- Massages or other customized activities can be part of team-building days.
- Workplace massages can be self-funded, either entirely or partially.
- Different companies may have different practices regarding whether massage services are allowed during working hours or if the time spent on massage is considered personal time.
- Hiring a massage therapist for a full day at the office.
- Individual massages at the office or home office.
- Massages or other services for meetings or business trips, including hotel rooms.
- Regular monthly massages or as part of a routine.
Bluumo's massage services are available for those working on-site as well as those working from home offices. All our massage services are easily purchasable directly online and delivered to the location. Our selection also includes fitness services and services tailored specifically for businesses. In addition to common payment methods, individual massages can also be paid for using Edenred, ePassi, or Smartum balances. For corporate customers, we offer invoicing options as well.
What are the benefits of having massages delivered to workplaces?
With the advent of the pandemic, remote work has gained popularity. For many offices, this has been a challenge, as interactions with colleagues become less frequent, and tacit knowledge doesn't flow as easily. By organizing well-being days or, in general, enhancing the office environment with well-being services such as massage or fitness, it has a positive impact on employee attendance and their satisfaction while at work.
Workplace massage supports both work capacity and job satisfaction. In addition to the tangible and immediate benefits, arranging massages at the workplace is a signal of care from the employer, which contributes to building a positive employer image and improves job satisfaction.
Feel free to get in touch with our customer service if you'd like to discuss the organization of massage services in more detail. We can also help tailor various packages for events like team-building days and year-end parties!
