Why your business should have an onsite gymIt is no surprise to lean that exercise can significantly produce better job performance. While this may not be enough for employers everywhere to start building on site gyms, there are a number of other reasons they should consider as well. The bottom line is that this is an investment that can pay off in a big way for both the employer and their employees. Here are some of the reasons why your business should have an onsite gym-
Some employers worry that after making such a significant outlay, that employees will not take advantage of the gym option. There are many businesses that are offering incentives for using the fitness options, while others are monitoring the use of the gym. If an employee fails to use the gym at least 2-3 times per week, then the cost of the gym membership is deducted from their pay. Other businesses are giving their employees an extra 15 minute break to advantage of whatever fitness option they have. Many employees find that this small amount of extra time is enough to get them into the gym. Still other companies are offering challenges to their employees such as who can lose the most weight. After a certain period of time the business then offers the winners of the weight loss challenge various prizes such as: gift cards, cash, training sessions in the gym or even paid time off. The only limits to the incentives that are being offered are the creativity of the company involved! Other companies are restructuring the workday to allow employees to get into the gym. Some businesses do not monitor the amount of break time that their employees take. They simply expect them to get the work done, this leaves employees determining the time that is right for them to get into the gym. Other employees will use their gym option before starting or after work, if they have an onsite gym. Employers find that having an onsite gym can not only be a boost to productivity and morale, but be serious tool when it comes to recruiting top talent. Many prospective job applicants look for companies that make their employees health and well-being a priority and gym shows that you do. |
