The document proposes building an onsite employee gym to encourage healthy lifestyles and exercise among staff. It notes that hundreds of employees have requested an onsite gym. The proposed gym would be open long hours and staffed to teach safe exercise practices, making it convenient and encouraging employees to work out. Building an onsite gym would cost the company significantly less than paying for employees' commercial gym memberships each year, while improving employee health, reducing absenteeism, boosting morale, and lowering insurance premium costs.
