As you may be aware, the health-related costs here at company X have been climbing at an
alarming rate these last few quarters. Just in the most recent quarter, the average care cost per
employee raised by almost 15%. This represents a climbing loss that our company, frankly, can
not afford to take in these off-months. The brunt of these new expenses seem to be from what
our insurer views as “a lack of emphasis on healthy living.”

It can be extremely hard and expensive to follow each and everyone of the two hundred people
employed here to get a truly accurate cause to this rise in costs but nonetheless a solution must
be provided. I propose that we build an on-site fitness center for employees to use freely. Not
only will this encourage an active lifestyle to our employees but studies show that their
productiveness will increase with their personal health in equal parts. Studies show that working
out can improve concentration, sharper memory, faster learning and lower stress. All of these
can factor into our employees becoming more productive at work with no emotional downsides.

Besides the immediate effect of lowering our average premiums, this health center will prove to
be essential to our staff's overall health and morale here at company X. I believe that the health
and mental benefits of this fitness center will prove essential to our company's overall health
and protecting all the interests of all parties involved.
