Through research and analysis, it has been discovered that the Rocky Mountain Mutual Company Fitness Center is a financial asset to the company. By reviewing company records you will see that the Fitness Center decreases employee absenteeism, increases employee productivity and reduces medical cost to the company. I believe that with some key leader support and proper attention our Fitness Center could become Rocky Mountain Mutual’s biggest asset.

When it comes to absenteeism, our employees of Rocky Mountain Mutual who use the center miss almost half as many days of work as those who don't. They missed an average of six days of work per year as compared to those who do not use it with a staggering twelve days of work per year. As you can see, the statistics show that the Fitness Center is a major contributing factor of the health of our employees.
With having said that these numbers in turn have shown to reduce the medical cost to our company. The research that was done shows that the employees fall into three different medical categories. These categories are those ranging from frequent users of the center, going three or more times per week, accounts for 10% of all Rocky Mountain Mutual employees, those considered average users go once or twice per week,accounting for 25% of all employees and the last category of non-users , the ones who do not use the facility at all, is the remaining 65% of all employees. Of these, the frequent users have an average medical cost of $100 per person totaling $2,500 per year. The average users have an average medical cost of $300 per person totaling $18,600 per year. Finally, the non-users have an average medical cost of $500 per person totaling $81,500 per year. As you can see,
