How a Chinese company encourages employees: run for a second salary! (3 photos)

Sometimes you have to run for a good salary, and for employees of the Chinese company Dongpo Paper this is not just a figurative expression, but a harsh reality.





Let's admit that physical activity in the modern world of offices and a sedentary lifestyle is rare. Sometimes there is absolutely not enough time and energy, let alone running, or even doing the simplest exercise.

The Chinese company Dongpo Paper in Guangdong province has come up with an unconventional way to motivate its employees - pay extra for physical activity, in particular for running.

You can earn a very decent premium. Thus, employees who run 50 km per month can count on a second salary, for 40 km - 60% of the salary, and for 30 km - 30%.



An additional 30% is given to those who reach 100 km per month. The new policy also takes into account mountain hiking and speed walking, which account for 30 to 60% of the total amount of exercise required.

The distance is tracked using apps on employees' phones. Company CEO Lin Zhiyong explained that healthy employees are the key to the company's long-term success. Well, he himself conquered Everest twice.
