RE: Discussion - Week 4
COLLAPSE
The ‘outside- the –box’ strategy I would suggest as a human resource manager is offering fitness
and gym compensation to employees. Currently, every citizen is worried about their weight,
mainly due to the emerging diseases related to issues of weight, and lack of exercise. People are
unable to balance work and still hit the gym, so I think giving them an hour in the morning or the
evening for paid gym services in the company gym would attract diverse workforce (Gibson,
2010).
Employees will consider this offer because gym services are expensive, and it is hard sometimes
to balance work, gym, and family. Moreover, when employees get free gym services, they will
adapt a healthy lifestyle. It will be helpful to reduce work stress, and pressure. This will aid in
reducing a number of causes of illness and sick offs. Moreover, the employees' energy levels,
morale, and moods will be improved. This will increase their work performance at the benefit of
the company. It will also help in retaining employees through loyalty (Gibson, 2010).
To attract the highest number of employees, I would advertise that gym services will be offered
every morning and evening. Moreover, the employees are allowed a free ticket to just one
member of the family. Either a mother, a wife, or a sister; but it must be one. However, this
option will be for those with high experience and income. Involving a family member will make
the employees feel that we really care about their health as well as their families’. All employees
will be allowed gym services regardless of their age, backgrounds, income bracket, or level of
experience. However, the employees with the highest experience will be allowed all gym
services, such as gym, aerobics, and the spa, while the other will only be allowed the gym.
