Neurosonic improves employee well-being: Experiences from DNA Oyj
Interview with Tarja Sinkkonen, Facility Manager, DNA Oyj
When the Neurosonic Chaise longue was delivered to DNA headquarters, I visited the live presentation and brochures. At first I was really skeptical about how a vibrating divan could help and whether it would really help with sleep, for example. I don't have a problem falling asleep myself, but waking up at night has been quite normal for years.
Once I decided to try it, there's nothing to lose if you just lie under the blanket for 20 minutes and listen to nice sounds. The next morning I was feeling a bit groggy, I noticed that I had slept through the night without waking up once!
For me, the best time for a moment of relaxation is usually after the office day before going home. You just have to remember to reserve that little time for yourself, because the reward has been the best every time - a full night's sleep.
DNA Oyj invests in the well-being of its employees
DNA Oyj wants to be the best place to work and learn, and therefore also supports employee well-being in many ways. For example since 2017, the company has offered Neurosonic recliners in its offices for the use of its employees, allowing them to take advantage of this unique method of relaxation and recovery. This initiative is part of a broader strategy aimed at improving workplace well-being and productivity.
In 2019, a master's thesis on the effects of Neurosonic devices on the well-being of employees was carried out with DNA. The results were impressive. According to the study, 93% of the respondents found using the Neurosonic device useful, and more than 85% rated the device's benefits with more than 8 marks on a scale of 1-10. The employees reported that relaxation, concentration and sleep quality improved. The study also emphasized that regular use of more than 20 minutes was particularly effective in improving concentration and promoting sleep quality.
This study highlights the value of integrating wellness technology in the workplace. By offering employees tools for stress management and improving overall well-being, DNA Oyj has set the bar high for other companies that want to support their workforce.
Neurosonic technology supports the well-being of employees
Neurosonic products are designed to promote deep relaxation, improve sleep quality and support overall well-being. These devices use low-frequency vibration to stimulate the body and mind, which aids in recovery and reduces stress levels. This is how Neurosonic can support the well-being of employees:
- Daytime recovery: Short sessions in the Neurosonic recliner help workers recover during the day, reducing fatigue and improving energy levels. This is especially useful for those working long hours or demanding schedules.
- Stress reduction: Gentle vibrations and various programs designed for relaxation can significantly reduce stress and anxiety, creating a calmer and more focused work environment.
- Improved sleep quality: Regular use of Neurosonic technology has been shown to improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing physical and mental tension. This can be a significant help for workers who struggle with sleep problems, and can lead to better overall health and productivity.
Integrating Neurosonic products into the workplace can be a significant step in supporting the health and well-being of employees. DNA Oyj's experiences show that these tools can bring real change to a healthier and more balanced work environment. For companies that want to invest in the well-being of their employees, Neurosonic offers an effective solution suitable for modern well-being.
