Some employers offer their employees subsidized membership of gyms and sports clubs,
believing that this will make their staff healthier and thus more effective at work. Other employers
see no benefit in doing so. Consider the arguments from both aspects of this possible debate, and reach a conclusion.
Many believe that companies are always seeking to enhance the productivity of their employees’ by subsidizing recreational activities such gym and other sports facilities. However, others believe that these facilities are waste of time and money and hence, should be avoided at workplace. Both the points are described below:
On the one hand, it is said that if employees are fit and healthy then their working time will be more effective, leading to higher levels output and service. Furthermore, work-life balance will be improved because they have more time to spend on leisure activities with their families. Moreover, they can use these activities to reduce the stress levels. Jobs are very demanding nowadays, for example, one has to work very hard to fulfill the requirements and if they get some free time to do such activities then they may even be more motivating and thus feeling healthy may further lead to job satisfaction which is considered superior than any other financial rewards.
Conversely, the main problem with such leisure-based subsidies is that their efficacy cannot be tracked. For example, with target-related jobs, employers can see whether the objectives are reached or not and if the purpose are not met then companies may initiate the modification in programs. Some people think that if we spend budget on training or time management which can help employees in day to day tasks. Moreover, these matters are easy to measure especially in performance review or appraisals and can help organization to enchase their revenues.
To conclude, it seems that health-related subsidies can help individuals to stay fit and stress free but the lack of measurability is one major drawback. Spending funding on ongoing training would be better option for company to spend budget on.

2. The best way to reduce the traffic accidents is to raise age limit for the younger drivers and limit the age for old one. Do you agree
In this decade, increased traffic accidents are one of the biggest worry for all the countries. Many feel that increasing the minimum and decreasing the maximum age limit could bring down these incidents significantly. In my views, I agree with the statement. The argument will be explained in following paragraphs.
On one hand, younger are considered to be inexperienced and aggressive drivers. They frequently try to replicate Hollywood stunts in real life which sometimes turn into accidents and by increasing the minimum age for driver’s license government can counter the issue. Furthermore, as per a recent survey, In India, 70% of road mishappenings are due to high speed and the majority of victims are from 16 to 21 year age segment. In other words, adults often drink to enjoy parties and many times they drive under the influence of alcohol. Moreover, they do not obey the traffic guidelines in such situations.
As far as older are concerned, lowering age limit can also reduce such incidents. However, the impact of this legislation would not be as obvious as it would be by increasing the limit for younger. Because older drive more carefully comparatively. At this age, senior people suffer from week eyesight and they may hurt themselves and others with their driving. In addition, they lack mental and physical strength which is required in hilly and tariff congested areas such as Delhi, where people have to be very attentive while and wait for hours in tariff to reach at destination. Therefore, to avoid such situations, the government should cap the maximum age as well.
To conclude, increasing the minimum and decreasing the maximum age for driving is the only viable option at this moment to bring down road accidents. I personally believe that we will see the results in short snap of time if we implement it successfully.
