Now-a-days Health is becoming the most expensive thing. As reports says 60-70% of the people are not fit. Do you think Physical fitness for the employees should be mandatory. Because most of the people are working for very long hours and not focussing on their health and fitness. Then what are the necessary steps to be taken by the Companies or Industries?

@satish_kumar_veluri Cities have a lot of places to play badminton and cricket but all became commercial. We have to pay lots of money depending on the games.

@prasad_nadimpalli True but most of the health issues are due to lack of physical activities (According to reports).

Agreed 100%. Companies must start devoting some of their time and resources to the fitness of their employees. An easy idea would be to have a space for some basic exercise equipment so that employees can stay active if they choose to.
