We've got a real problem on our hands.
We're getting a lot of complaints.
About the proposed new policy?

Don't they agree that regular exercise and staying in shape is good for everyone?
Sure, they agreed.
But they don't think we have the right to use an app to track how much they exercise.

Using the app is the only way to mae sure our employees get enough exercise.
This new policy will reduce our health costs and improve productivity, which helps everyone.
That's not how they see it.
This kind of regulation makes people feel like robots.

Well, if you put it that way, I can see the problem.;
However, I don't see any other way to change people's habits.
This is just a friendly reminder.
It's more than a reminder.
It makes things public, and puts pressure on people to meet the requirements.
It will force people to work out even when they don't want to.
There won't be any choice.
No, it doesn't have to be that way.
We can still be flexible.
flexible 英[ˈfleksəbl]美[ˈfleksəbl] adj.能适应新情况的; 灵活的; 可变动的; 柔韧的; 可弯曲的; 有弹性的;
That's not the point.
People hate the idea that the company knows everything they do.
It's better enough that they have to communicate with each other at night and on the weekends.
What if we make the use of the app an option.
If you do that, it still puts pressure on people to use it.
I think it's best that we get rid of this idea.
get rid of 摆脱,除去; 丢弃,毁掉; 甩掉; 赶走;
rid 英[rɪd]美[rɪd] v.摆脱; 去掉; 消除; adj.得到解脱的;摆脱…的;
I'm all for standards, but what about freedom, and creativity.
If we go ahead with this policy, I think we will lose some of our best people.
There are other ways to deal with health issues.
Such as... What's your suggestion?
Give extra holidays to people who take fewer sick days.
No... That wouldn't work.
It would put pressure on people to come to work sick and get everyone else sick too.
If someone is sick, I'd rather that they stay at home.
Then here is a radical idea.
radical 英[ˈrædɪkl]美[ˈrædɪkl] adj.根本的; 彻底的; 完全的; 全新的; 不同凡响的; 激进的; 极端的; 很好; n.激进分子; 游离基; 自由基;
Why not let your department managers handle it?
They are the ones who decide on promotions and bonuses.
Setting everything in stone in the form of policies can be very dangerous
set in stone 一成不变
Setting everything in stone 把一切都固定下来
OK, I'll consider it.
For now, I'll give up the idea of using this app.
Please let people know that we are listening to them.
We do care about our employees.
I will, I'm sure people will appreciate it.
It shows that you have faith in them.

Thanks,I appreciate your advice.
