Practical workplace wellness solutions for Australian businesses
Creating a workplace wellness room doesn’t require a large office, an expensive fitout or a dedicated wellbeing department.
For Australian small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), even a modest space with comfortable seating and carefully selected workplace wellness equipment can provide employees with somewhere to step away from their desks, enjoy a quiet break and take time for themselves.
DrummRoll Wellness introduces Australian businesses to compact, technology-based wellness devices that can be incorporated into staff relaxation rooms, office wellbeing spaces and workplace wellness activities.
Based in Sydney, we offer product guidance, workplace demonstrations and practical assistance with selecting equipment for your business.
Whether you’re fitting out a new office, upgrading an existing staff room or exploring employee wellbeing initiatives, we can help you consider the available options.
A wellness room that fits your business
Not every company has the space or budget for a dedicated corporate wellness centre. Fortunately, workplace relaxation spaces can be created on a much smaller scale.
Small offices: start with one comfortable corner
A quiet area with a supportive chair, appropriate lighting and a compact foot wellness device may be enough to introduce a new wellbeing option to your workplace.
Employees can book time to use the space during their breaks, subject to the equipment’s operating instructions and suitability requirements.
Growing businesses: create a dedicated relaxation room
An unused meeting room or quiet office may be suitable for conversion into an employee wellness room.
Consider comfortable seating, soft lighting, privacy, ventilation and a small selection of wellness equipment. A simple booking system can help employees share the facilities fairly.
Established SMEs: expand your workplace wellbeing facilities
Businesses with larger teams or multiple office locations may wish to explore additional equipment, dedicated wellness spaces or organised staff demonstration sessions.
The aim is to create a practical environment that suits the workplace rather than introduce a complicated new programme.
Choosing equipment for your workplace wellness room
When selecting employee wellbeing equipment, consider how much space it requires, how it operates, whether it can be used in a shared environment and what safety procedures are necessary.
DrummRoll Wellness offers several devices that businesses may wish to investigate.
OlyLife THz Tera-P90 — a compact foot wellness platform
The Tera-P90 is a seated-use foot platform combining pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) and terahertz technologies.
Users sit comfortably with their bare feet resting on two metal foot plates. The device has adjustable settings and a timed session.
Its compact design makes it a possible option for an office relaxation area, subject to the manufacturer’s instructions, contraindications and suitability for the intended workplace setting.

OlyLife THz Tera-P90+ — foot wellness and additional handheld devices
The Tera-P90+ combines a redesigned foot platform plus two additional devices. The additional handheld devices may provide more options for a workplace wellness room, depending on staff needs.
It offers a broader range of features, although businesses should consider the additional training, hygiene and optional consumable requirements before selecting it for a shared staff facility.

OlyLife Shaken Massager — another equipment option
The Shaken Massager provides a different type of device experience using massage-related technologies.
It may be worth considering for a more varied workplace wellness offering, provided the intended commercial use, staff suitability and operating requirements have been checked.

What makes good workplace wellness equipment?
For most SMEs, practical considerations are just as important as the technology.
Consider these practical features:
- Small footprint. Fits comfortably within the available office space.
- Easy to install. Can be operated without complicated installation.
- Self service. Has clear instructions and adjustable settings.
- Quiet. Won’t disturb neighbouring offices or work spaces.
- Short sessions. Can be switched off early, so a session fits a coffee break.
- Low upkeep. Has manageable cleaning and maintenance requirements.
- Comes with accessible product specifications and safety information.
- Can be incorporated into an organised staff booking system.
- Has suitable warranty and support arrangements.
Electrical wellness equipment also requires appropriate power access, cable management and user screening. Manufacturer instructions and applicable workplace safety requirements should guide its installation and use.
Three ways to introduce wellness technology at work
1. Establish a permanent employee wellness room
Create a quiet, comfortable area where eligible employees can take scheduled breaks away from their regular workstations.
A chair or sofa, suitable lighting and carefully positioned equipment can form the basis of a simple workplace relaxation space.
2. Organise a workplace wellness day
Introduce your team to different wellbeing activities during a staff wellness day, workplace event or employee wellbeing week.
A demonstration of wellness technology can be one element of a broader programme that includes movement, nutrition, mental wellbeing and other employee initiatives.
3. Arrange a lunchtime demonstration
Not sure whether your staff would be interested?
A workplace demonstration allows your business to see the equipment, understand its operation and ask questions before deciding whether to purchase.
DrummRoll Wellness offers workplace demonstrations in Sydney, subject to availability, and remote consultations for businesses elsewhere.
Planning your office relaxation room
Before purchasing equipment, consider the following:
Location: Choose a quiet area away from busy walkways, with sufficient space for seating and safe movement.
Comfort: Provide supportive seating, suitable room temperature, ventilation and comfortable lighting.
Privacy: Employees should feel comfortable using the space without being on display to colleagues.
Electrical safety: Check power point locations, electrical requirements and cable routing. Avoid trailing cords and trip hazards. Any cable covering or installation should comply with workplace safety requirements.
Hygiene: Establish cleaning procedures appropriate to the equipment, particularly where devices contact bare skin.
Staff access: Decide whether bookings are required and who will oversee the room.
Suitability and screening: Ensure users understand the manufacturer’s precautions and contraindications before accessing any electrical wellness device.
A successful employee wellness room should be straightforward to maintain and comfortable to use.
Frequently asked questions about workplace wellness rooms
What equipment should a small business put in a wellness room?
Start with comfortable seating, suitable lighting, ventilation, quality drinking water, privacy and safe access to power. Depending on the purpose of the room, businesses may also consider compact wellness devices, relaxation equipment, tea and coffee facilities or other staff wellbeing resources. Choose equipment according to available space, budget, staff needs and workplace safety requirements.
How much does it cost to set up an employee wellness room?
The cost depends on whether you’re converting an existing room, buying furniture or undertaking a complete fitout. A simple relaxation space may require little more than comfortable seating and lighting. Additional wellness equipment can be purchased separately. DrummRoll Wellness publishes product prices in USD with indicative AUD conversions to help businesses plan their equipment budgets.
Can several employees share a foot wellness device?
A foot platform is designed for individual sessions. Before introducing one into a shared workplace, confirm that the manufacturer permits the intended multi-user commercial use. Appropriate user screening, cleaning, operating instructions and access arrangements are essential. Not every employee will be suitable to use every device.
Are PEMF foot devices suitable for all employees?
No. Electrical wellness devices have important contraindications and precautions. Depending on the product, these may include pregnancy, implanted electronic or metal devices and certain medical conditions. Businesses should consult the complete manufacturer instructions and product-specific safety information before making equipment available to staff.
How long does a workplace foot wellness session take?
Session lengths vary by device. The Tera-P90 has a standard 30-minute session, while the Tera-P90+ has a 20-minute session. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended operating times and instructions when planning staff access.
Can we arrange a workplace equipment demonstration?
DrummRoll Wellness offers demonstrations for businesses in the Sydney area, subject to scheduling and availability. If your workplace is outside Sydney, we can arrange an introductory Zoom or telephone conversation to explain the equipment and answer purchasing questions.
Can wellness equipment replace other employee wellbeing initiatives?
No. A workplace relaxation room is best considered an optional addition to broader employee wellbeing measures, such as supportive working conditions, reasonable workloads, appropriate breaks and access to relevant health and wellbeing resources. Wellness devices should not be presented as a substitute for medical treatment or established workplace health and safety practices.
