Subject: Fitness Center to further the interests of Rocky Mountain Mutual
Greetings Zach,
As discussed in our meeting last week, I understand that you have some reasons to close the fitness center. In order to satiate your apprehensions , I have listed out a few reasons that support my position of keeping the fitness centre operational.
As a regular user, I was greatly benefited from using the fitness center. During the past 8 months, I have instituted a Wellness Program which used peer encouragement to promote use of the Fitness Center thereby resulting in greater camaraderie and team cohesiveness amongst the employees.
A detailed analysis of the company records further evince that the fitness centre decreases employee absenteeism, reduces company medical cost and increases employee productivity and proactiveness. Employees who have taken advantage of the Fitness Center miss half the number of work days than employees who do not use the fitness center. Also productivity in the Claims department has risen by 18 percent and the amount of sick days have fallen off by 5%.
Investing in our most important asset – the employees, would not only improve the cost to benefit ratio, by lowering the company’s insurance premium’s towards employee benefit, but also contibute to the overall efficiency of the company. Having a healthy, happy, productive front line can positively affect our bottomline.
After much analysis my recommendation would be to keep the fitness center open in order to ascertain the long term benefits for the company.
Thank you.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
