Some entrepreneurs think that subsidized membership for gym and sports clubs are beneficial to employees while other owners believe that this has no benefits for employees. In my perspective, it is not at all a advandage as some employees might not interest in this subsidy and monetary gain might motivate them more. We can debate further in comprehensive below.
On the one hand, some employers trust that it is an advantage to employees as they might not be motivated and devoted to company moreover it would reduce the sick leaves taken by employees. For instance, I have red a magazine mentioned that the company which gave subsidies are good in creating new ideas and produce new things for development of company.
On the other hand, employees might not be interested in this subsidized membership for gym or sports club because of hectic work. whereas, they would be motivated by economic benefits as they can spend that money according to their needs. To give an example, my friend worked in a company before which only gave some gym membership which disappointed her so she decided to resign from the company and recently she joined in a company where she gets many bonus which motivated her. Moreover she didn’t take any leave and she is giving her best to improve the company.
In summary, subsidies or bonus are important to motivate the employees but it should be useful and beneficial for the employees.
