AS A practical contribution to the European Working on Stress Week initiative, Wyko Calibration Services in Romsey is not only organising a series of stress awareness seminars for its staff, but also providing the opportunity to enjoy an Indian head massage.

Gary Shepherd, managing director, commented: "We recognise the importance of identifying potential stress factors and eliminating them before they create problems for the staff - and ultimately affect the performance of the company.

"Not all stress is work-induced and we hope that the seminars will help staff to deal with stressful situations effectively wherever and whenever they arise."

Staff will be able to enjoy a free 15-minute Indian head massage with Amanda Edwards, one of the south's leading holistic therapists.

"Who knows? If there's a sudden increase in productivity after the massage session, perhaps we'll make it a regular event, " said Mr Shepherd.
