Getting a discount
Do you have a job? Granted, several people are out of labor right now, or they are underemployed , so there are several folks who recognize luck just to have a job.
But, even so, managers need to look at what they offer their employees other than a paycheck.
True, we all need that paycheck in the bank in order to survive, but if your manager does not offer anything other than that, it might be time for you to start looking for another locale of employment. There are a million unusual perks that managers offer nowadays, but the 1 that I guess is most often overlooked by employees are corporate wellness programs. Many companies do see the value in having a healthy workforce. Fewer insurance claims means lower health system costs for their employees. Fewer sick calls means more productivity. Employees who are not working but are getting paid sick leave cost the company money, then does your manager offer gym membership discounts? Gym membership discounts are often 1 component of a nice corporate wellness program. Periodically, rather than a membership discount, the manager might reimburse you if you go & purchase a gym membership on your own. That can be better because you get to choose your own health & fitness center – the 1 that offers the personal fitness training or sauna or training methods you most prefer. If your manager ever asks you for suggestions on how to improve the labor environment or business, you might want to consider seeing if they might put a corporate wellness program into locale. You deserve more than just a paycheck.
