瑞典一公司老闆強制員工每天打卡健身，結果公司卻越做越好了

聽說過強迫員工加班，卻很少聽到強迫員工鍛煉身體。

最近，瑞典一家運動時尚服飾公司，因為強制員工上班健身，

成了網友們瘋傳的熱點。

Workers spending their lunch break at the gym may be commonplace in most Western countries, but in Sweden some employers are pushing the idea even further, making on-the-job exercise compulsory.

這家公司設立在瑞典首都斯德哥爾摩，由傳奇的瑞典網球冠軍Bjorn Borg開創。

這裡的員工除了要符合公司的基本要求以外，最重要的一點就是：熱愛運動，而且要堅持健身！

現任CEO是44歲的Henrik Bunge，在兩年前提出一條公司規定：

每周五11點-12點不營業不辦公，所有員工都必須離開辦公桌，去集中健身！

Every Friday, employees of fashion and sportswear retailer Bjorn Borg leave their desks at the company』s Stockholm headquarters to get their weekly workout in the office.

Henrik Bunge認為，我們本就是一家運動時尚品牌，如果你不熱愛運動、不熱愛生活，你又能如何能了解那些運動狂呢？

更何況，愛運動愛生活本就是我們公司的文化之一，

如果你不尊重它，不參加運動，那麼請你離（gun）開（dan）!

在強制要求員工在上班時間運動的這兩年，我們公司沒有任何一個人，因為不想運動或者堅持不了而辭職！"

There is no getting out of it: for more than two years the company founded by the Swedish tennis legend has made on-the-job exercise mandatory at the initiative of chief executive Henrik Bunge, a 44-year-old built like a wrestler.

「If you don』t want to exercise or be a part of the company culture, you have to go,」says Bunge, without batting an eye. So far no one has quit because of the requirement, he adds.

所以這兩年的每周五，都會見到這個公司所有人，集體在公司健身。當然也包括CEO本人.

每周五只有集體健身完，這周才算過完整了。

公司集體活動的形式種類很多，一點都不會枯燥：

拳擊、跑步、心肺有氧、瑜伽、普拉提等等.

不過，作為公司的CEO，做的每一個決定都是經過深思熟慮的，這項強制運動的規定當然也不例外，大叔可是做了很多功課的。

首先，瑞典人本身就很喜歡戶外運動，而且他們有一種既定思維：

如果你願意花時間運動，關注自己的健康，那麼你這個人大概就是個好人了。

再加上，2014年，斯德哥爾摩大學的一項研究表明，

在工作日運動對僱主和員工都有好處。

一個能夠把「堅持」「規律」「從一而終」，作為習慣的人，

在任何事情上都會成為一個高效率的人，包括工作，

而且長期堅持運動健身，有助於員工身心健康，而且提高專註力。

不僅如此，就連員工的缺勤率也能因為運動而下降22%。

「In Sweden there』s this idea that you』ll be healthy, strong and happy if you get a lot of exercise, if you spend a lot of time in nature,」says Carl Cederstrom, an economics researcher at Stockholm University and the author of 「The Wellness Syndrome」,

a critique of the pervasive ideology of wellness.

He notes that it is a common belief in Sweden

「that if you exercise and take care of your body, you』re a better person」.

The main aims of the policy -- shared by other firms such as city water company Kalmar Vatten and construction consultancy Rotpartner

--are to boost productivity and profitability while fostering camaraderie in the work force.

In 2014, a University of Stockholm study showed that exercising during the workday was advantageous for both employees -- who were

healthier and more concentrated-- and the employer.

The study found there was a22 percent decline in work absences,

not negligible in a country where the average person is on sick leave four percent of the time, twice the European average.

以上總總，都堅定了CEO的決心，他堅信，集體運動可以讓辦公室變得更加快樂，

更有效率，同事之間的感情也會更好。

畢竟不同部門的人都能因此聚集在一起，平等相處。

大家一起健身的時候，便沒有老闆，沒有總監，沒有經理，所有人都是一樣的，誰也不會在乎誰的職務。

And some, like at Bjorn Borg, go so far as to organise exercise classes during work time.

Bunge is convinced the workplace he has created has made employees happier and more productive, noting that all the company』s key numbers have gone up since the new regime was introduced.

Mandatory workouts, usually in a group, also have other benefits.

They bring together all the departments of a company,

allowing employees to put their work responsibilities aside

and get to know each other on an equal footing.

總之，這兩年來，該公司業務發展的紅紅火火，也沒有員工因為抗拒運動而離職，

這大概都證明了，上班時間免費做運動是個不錯的主意啊。

要不要轉發給你們的BOSS，讓他/她重新考慮一下員工福利問題？
