Dongpo Paper, a Chinese paper-making company, has introduced a unique employee bonus policy, shifting from traditional performance-based incentives to monthly bonuses based on physical activity.
Employees can earn a 100% bonus by running 50km monthly, with additional incentives for longer distances. The policy includes mountain hiking and speed walking, tracked through a smartphone app.
Company founder Lin Zhiyong emphasizes the link between employee health and company longevity, citing his own experiences climbing Mount Everest. Employees appreciate the dual benefits of improved health and financial rewards, with one noting how it helped lower blood sugar levels.
