Run and get bonus every month, Interesting initiative of Chinese company.
A Chinese company surprised everyone by changing its annual bonus scheme to keep its employees healthy and fit.
Dongpo Paper, a paper manufacturer in the Chinese province of Guangdong, made global headlines when it shifted its bonus scheme to athletic performance rather than work performance.
Yes! You read that right. Chinese company management has made annual bonuses race-based to promote commitment among its employees to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Walking or running, which is better?
The company says that if an employee runs up to 50 kilometers per month, he will be eligible for a monthly bonus.
Similarly if a person running 40 km per month will be eligible for 60% bonus of his salary while one running 30 km will be eligible for 30% bonus of salary.
