It\u2019s got harder to retain them too. The rising cost of living\u2014and a preference for hybrid or home working\u2014has nudged many workers to start exploring their career options.<\/p>\n<p>As if running your business wasn\u2019t hard enough\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Few Oldham businesses will be in a position to simply increase wages, so being able to keep hold of your people becomes more about the overall package you can present to them, because a package of perks can cost far less for employers than a payrise, while being hugely beneficial to employees. But what should that package include?<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nGym membership, fitness and wellbeing top worker perks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gym membership and health and wellbeing perks feature strongly in every list of workplace benefits. In this study, <a href=\"https:\/\/hrnews.co.uk\/gym-memberships-top-the-list-of-employee-benefits\/\">gym membership was at the very top<\/a>. As the article notes, \u201chealth and wellbeing benefits are quickly becoming a \u2018must have\u2019 rather than a \u2018nice to have\u2019 for employers and their talent attraction and retention strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet there\u2019s more to offering gym membership than talent retention.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nHow the gym benefits your people and your business<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Insurance company Aviva set out to explore the real-world benefits of health and fitness-based employer initiatives. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrreview.co.uk\/hr-news\/reward-news\/health-and-fitness-benefits-boost-productivity-and-attendance\/40534\">Their study found<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More than 8 in 10 firms (83%) reported reduced sick absence<\/li>\n<li>Almost 9 in 10 (89%) saw improved productivity<\/li>\n<li>86% reported improved staff wellbeing<\/li>\n<li>88% reported improved staff motivation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The single most popular health initiative?

For that, the gym you offer membership at needs to offer a variety of environments, classes and training options to suit everyone. It needs to be a welcoming space people want to return to, with friendly, supportive trainers who\u2019ll stay supportive whether staff visit a little or a lot. It needs to get results.<\/p>\n<p>Glo Gym does, and all for just \u00a318.99 pppm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about how corporate gym membership can help you create a healthier, happier and loyal workforce, <a href=\"https:\/\/glogym.co.uk\/\">talk to us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> Differential effects of acute and regular physical exercise on cognition and affect.
