Workplace Massage
ThriveWorks is arguably the first Australian business to offer and deliver massage in Australian businesses, starting way back in 1999. At the time Thrive Director Matthew Beechey launched a campaign to corporates, imploring OHS and HR personnel to believe that providing regular, short time framed massage to their employees would result in increased business performance. At first Matthew was laughed at and even hung up on, but over time word spread that providing short time framed massage to employees was good for business.
Today Thrive continues to deliver onsite massage on an ongoing basis, at events and conferences, or as a means for leaders to reward their team for their efforts and positive results.
