There is a widespread ideology that employers are always seeking ways to enhance their employees’ productivity, and subsidizing healthy pursuits may be one way of achieving this.
There are arguments on both sides that are discussed here.
On the one hand, it might be said that if the workers are fitter and less stressed, their working time will be more efficient, leading to higher levels of output and service. Furthermore, the work-life balance of the staff will hopefully be improved, because their leisure time will be more fulfilling. This may even be more motivating than pay increments, perks, or financial rewards such as bonuses or incentives, which may be hard to attain. Finally, feeling healthier may lead to better job satisfaction, which is, in itself, a motivating factor.
Change: Added “the” before “workers” and “work-life balance”. Also, added commas where needed. Explanation: Definite articles are used to specify particular items that are generally understood by the reader, and commas help in correctly punctuating and thus clarifying the sentence structure.
On the other hand, conversely to the above-mentioned conceits, the problem with such leisure-based subsidies is that their efficacy is virtually impossible to quantify. For example, with target-related payments, employers can at least see whether the objectives are reached or not. It might also be said that, if this budget was spent on the job training or day release programmes, the employees would achieve better career progression and have better job prospects. These matters are all easier to measure, especially in performance reviews and appraisals, and may even help to reduce the risk of redundancy if the company restructures, downsizes, or outsources its workforce.
Change: Added a comma after “For example”. Added “the” before “job training”. Explanation: Commas after transition words are necessary for clarity, and definite articles are needed to specify known things like “the job training”.
In short, it seems that, while health-related subsidies are superficially attractive, the lack of measurability is a substantial drawback. Spending funds on ongoing training would appear to be a better use of the company or Human Resources budgets.
Change: Added “the” before “company”. Explanation: Definite articles are used to specify particular items that are implied to be understood by the reader.
