Executive Summary

This report is for the proposal and implementation of an on-site fitness center to be incorporated in our current wellness program. In an agency such as DIA, it can be very demanding and stressful, both physically and mentally. The recommendation of this onsite fitness center is a way to present employees to embrace a healthy and physical fit régime into their everyday routines. An increase in our employees' fitness and overall well-being can maximize morale while reducing the absenteeism; reduce health care costs, which in turn will produce a more productive environment. Half our battle is won since we have an unused space big enough for this proposed fitness center. This 3,000sqft room that has been unoccupied for the last 1 ½ years can offer our employees a great and convenient location to get and stay fit. There are plenty of electrical outlets and separate men and women bathrooms with showers. There has been a growing concern in several departments about work related stress and there has been a notably and significant increase in employee absenteeism. The DIA, DLOC and other sub-facilities should consider creative ways to mitigate stress by providing our employees with a fitness facility to work out and relieve daily stresses. In not doing so, it could cause a negative effect on our agencies production levels as well as retention and recruitment. According to the Journal of Economics and Behavioral Studies in 2011, suggest that employers who incorporate such facilities and programs have considerably higher retention rates among their employees. Employees who are stressed, not happy in regards to their work, or the relationship with supervisors and co-workers can lead to lower retention, thus high turnover rates. Planning an on-site fitness facility can require lots research, time, and meticulous attention to detail. Our focus goal is to increase our employees overall well-being and physical standards so that it may decrease personnel absenteeism and cost of health care. Supporting healthy life styles and healthy work environments, the company will be able to reduce costs and maximize work productivity and increase morale. Continued information included in this report will help describe the pros and cons as well as suggested business strategies for consideration.
