&gt; Or how about just allowing employees to exercise and de-stress on company time.<p>That&#x27;s the key to the obesity epidemic right there. Have an onsite gym, and let employees take up to an hour off their normal 8 hours a day to exercise (or perhaps at a nearby gym, with some sort of oversight).<p>If you just give people that hour off, they&#x27;ll be lazy and use it for other things, but if it&#x27;s set aside specifically for exercise (or at the very least sitting their butts in the gym), it&#x27;ll get done over time.<p>But it has to be unstructured and unforced. They can do it any time throughout the day, for as little as they want, but it will be no questions asked if they&#x27;re in the gym (or out taking a walk or something).<p>And then group health premiums will drop, employee energy when they are working will increase, and they&#x27;ll get just as much work done as they would have otherwise.<p>As a society we went from having mostly active jobs to mostly sedentary jobs. These sedentary jobs are slowly killing their employees. It should be the company&#x27;s moral imperative to allow for exercise breaks during company time.
