An extreme solution on behalf of your health

INESC TEC, as an R&D institution of excellence in the areas that it operates, has an obligation to always be updated and aware of the new trends. In the labour market, everyone knows that efficiency is not measured in the number of hours that each person works. Just look at the more developed countries of Europe.

Everyone also knows that one of the secrets to have professional success is to balance the professional life with the personal one. And to exercise. And to give priority to outdoor activities. INESC TEC’s response: protocol with a gym, organisation of hikes for its collaborators.

But it still didn’t fully work, because everyone knows how difficult it is to change mentalities. So you shouldn’t be surprised by the extreme solution that was found.

Be sympathetic, it is for your own good. In fact, we just want you to have time to be with your family and friends, to exercise, to enjoy the wonderful sunset of the first days of Autumn.

So, it will be like this: you either leave at 6:00 p.m., or you stay here until the next day. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
