What can be done about this problem? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

Long working hours have always been an issue to employees across all fields in the society. They have so much work to do that they often have to work overtime. As a result, these people have virtually no time to work out and maintain their health. This essay will discuss possible causes and suggest solutions to alleviate such problem. One reason leading to commuters not having time to exercise is that there is not enough emphasis on the importance of working out. Many office workers have tremendous amount of work everyday mainly because their bosses tend to ignore their physical well-being. According to a recent survey, more than two third of the employees said they often have to work overtime. From the employer’s standpoint, their focuses are solely to boost sales and working efficiency within the company. Therefore, the subordinates are given so much work that they can hardly finish in a day. When they finish their work, they cannot afford to do sport as they are often drained during the day. Regarding methods to cope with this problem, it is essential that the general public realize the consequences lacking exercise can bring. One way to achieve this is through government advertisement. This can raise public awareness of the impacts of long working hours and the importance of doing exercise. Consequently, some employers will hopefully start to consider their staff’s welfare and distribute more reasonable amount of work to them. In conclusion, long working hours and low awareness of health causes many to neglect doing exercise. It is recommended that the government increase advertisement to raise awareness on the office workers’ working time and the importance of doing exercise.
