On a positive note, my job allows me 3 hours a week of paid time off to work out at the gym. This is not 3 hours a week to leave early, screw around .... but 3x a week our group goes to the gym and run, lift weights and condition.
IMHO, 3 hrs a week is about perfect. It’s enough time to get a little bit of toning, lose weight and incentive to work more on our own to get in better shape.
If just 1 heart attack is eliminated; think of the cost savings. On the side, people find that working out with co-workers improves morale, decreases stress, and makes the job a ‘fun’ environment.
I wish that more companies would initiate similar programs. 3 hrs a week of lost productivity is easily offset by workers who return to their desk re-invigorated, healthy and happy.
And, YOUR COMPANY did it all on their own....without mandates from the government!!!
And if people dont want to?
well..they get to pay a penalty....
Dont want to pay up?
No health care for you...
Cheers!
