Nowadays, there is a widespread belief that suggesting employees subsidized membership of gyms and sport clubs is beneficial to their health and leads efficient work quality. Although some people believe that offering the employees subsidized membership of gyms and sport clubs by employers is not related to working effectively, I believe that it makes company’s incomes improve with good quality of work.
First and foremost, it is easy to see that it improves health and well-being. What I mean by this is that regular exercise promotes better sleep. For example, it leads to increased alertness and performance during work hours. In addition, to doing sports increases energy levels. In other words physical activity boosts energy levels. As a consequence employees improve focus and productivity at work.
However, on the other side of this argument, it must be remembered that subsidized membership of gyms and sport clubs can be costly for businesses, especially for larger organizations with many employees. For example, a company with 100 employees can spend between 30 000 dollars and 50 000 dollars a month. This is really huge amount of money and it means approximately 500 000 dollars a year. If company gain less income, subsidized membership of gyms and sport clubs causes crisis.
In conclusion, both sides of the argument have a strong support. However, after analyzing both camps it is clear that the employer should cover their employees’ expenses of sports centres if they want healthy and more productive workers.
