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.
在多數西方國家，勞工在健身房度過午休時間，似乎司空見慣，但在瑞典，有些雇主延伸思考，讓運動成為工作上的義務。
Every Friday, employees of fashion and sportswear retailer Bjorn Borg leave their desks at the company’s Stockholm headquarters to get their weekly workout at a nearby gym.
每週五，瑞典運動服飾零售商「比約恩．柏格」的員工，都會離開斯德哥爾摩公司總部的辦公室，到附近一間健身房進行每週運動。
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.
沒有人可以例外，因為這間由瑞典網球傳奇人物比約恩．柏格創立的公司，2年多來貫徹體態宛如摔角選手的44歲執行長漢瑞克．邦吉的倡議，強制要求員工在工作時間運動。
"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.
「如果你不想運動，或不願融入企業文化，你就必須離開。」邦吉眼睛眨也不眨地說。他還提到，迄今沒有任何人因為這項要求而辭職。
The main aims of the policy are to boost productivity and profitability while fostering camaraderie in the work force.
這項政策的主要目標，是希望在提高生產力和利潤之外，也能增進同事間的情誼。
