Although most of our work involves visiting workplaces, where we set up in a small quiet area or meeting room, some requests are just a little different. Hands On At Work was asked recently to provide some seated massage sessions for a client but it was slightly different to the usual request. Barclays were holding a Gen AI Hackathon event. What’s one of those? We must admit to having to check what that means! Basically, they hosted a 24 hour event across nine locations globally, which saw employees working through the night to brainstorm ideas of how AI would affect the world of banking. We were on hand at their Radbrook Centre from 8am the following morning to soothe tired and aching bodies and minds with our back neck and shoulders and head massages. We were placed right in the middle of the event balloon arch, next to the huge count down screen, what a great atmosphere! Our seated massage is ideally placed to bring fun and relaxation to events. We have another one in the next couple of weeks where it is essentially a two-day corporate event but as most of the staff are very young, the client wants to create a festival vibe. We will be in a marquee, playing chill out music, offering massage and yoga over the two days. Versatility is our middle name! If you are thinking about organising an event or would like to have some massage or other wellbeing services at your workplace, get in touch. We don’t mind how wacky the ideas are, in fact we relish the challenge! Contact Kathy Scott on 07989 367669 or at [email protected]
