    That’s actually not a bad idea. Their employees staying fit and healthy also helps then being more productive for the company long term. The employees themselves, also probably wouldn’t mind staying fit and healthy. Win/win.

      is the insurance good enough to cover the cost of a knee and a hip for me? because that’s what i’m gonna need if they want me to take up running. at minimum.

      this is not a bonus available to employees who can’t take up running, for whatever reason.

        I’m guessing China has far better insurance than the US and you don’t pay nearly as much for doctors or operations there

      I’ve had several companies offer to partly cover the cost of a gym or exercise/weightliss/smoking cessation program. Similar idea but much better for covering health improvements for anyone. It’s also not presented as a bonus tied to job performance, but a benefit related to healthcare

      Unfortunately there’s that pesky qualification “partly”. In general I haven’t been incented because I still have to pay too much and the inconvenience of the paperwork just makes it … inconvenient
