You may not care for your employees ( Booger1), but that is going to cost you in the long run. So I wanted to know what you "forward thinking individuals" get from your employer on these very issues which are driving them to think out of the box. Right now we get health club reimbursements and have a Nurse here twice a week to check blood pressure and answer questions on health , fitness and nutrition. A massage therapist that comes in and opens an office for scheduled appointments. But we need health and safety and all that to start at home and once we leave it to come to work for sure. I am appreciative on all the feed back even those negative.

Then the bottom line is that your forward thinking employer offers nothing to its employees for riding a bicycle to work, why did you think less forward or "crazy" employers would?
