Ziruo employee weight determines promotion?

  Freedom: not the only standard, it still depends on business ability and management ability

  For a man with a height of 180cm, the weight should be between 135 kg and 145 kg; for a woman with a height of 170cm, the weight should be between 115 kg and 125 kg... Recently, a suspected Zizao employee broke the news on the Internet, and Zizao’s internal promotion channel will be based on height and weight. The condition stated that "Ziru will have weight requirements when promoting employees, and promotion is not allowed if the weight is not up to the standard."

  On December 23, the relevant staff of the public relations department of the Ziru brand told reporters, "We just hope that everyone has this awareness and goal, but it is not the only standard system. This (promotion) still depends on the professional and management capabilities of the promoted personnel." "This is a reference indicator, not a rigid indicator." The other party said that weight is not the only criterion for determining management promotion or evaluating performance.

  Suspected employees broke the news online

  Said internal promotion depends on whether the weight meets the standard

  On December 23, the reporter saw the post through Maimai APP.

A netizen with the ID named "Taishan Disciple" suspected that Ziru's employee broke the news, "Zirou is a wonderful company. Recruitment depends on the value of the face, and the internal promotion and salary increase also depends on the value of the face and weight. The weight is not up to the standard and promotion is not allowed...

  In the picture sent by the netizen, there is the Ziruo logo in the upper left corner, and the picture reads "Upgrade content-personal weight up to standard". The standard for men is (height cm-80)×70%; the standard for women is (height cm-70) )×60%, the standard error of the two weights needs to be less than or equal to plus or minus 2.5kg.

  Taking a male height of 180cm and a female height of 170cm as examples, according to the standard calculation, the standard weight range for men is between 67.5kg-72.5kg (135 kg-145 kg), and the standard weight range for women is 57.5kg-62.5kg (115 kg- 125 kg).

  This post has aroused heated discussion among many netizens. There are currently 359 comments and 259 likes.

At the bottom of the post, a netizen who was certified as a "Ziru.com employee" replied, "I didn't expect the company to be on the list in this form."

  Some netizens feel that this rule is too strict, "By the way, the popular science weight can't absolutely reflect the body shape, because the composition of muscle, fat, and edema is different, some people just look at the weight of 90 kg may weigh 120." "Better than the standard. Can you live with a light weight of 10 catties?"

  Some netizens also feel that this is the company’s compassionate approach to employees, “What’s wrong with keeping individuals healthy, how can it be possible to rely on self-discipline at work now? Isn’t it good to set this goal? A few years later, many people will certainly appreciate this rule. ""Body management is a very reasonable indicator."

  Freedom: not the only standard system

  It still depends on business ability and management ability

  On December 23, the reporter privately sent a private message to the Weibo account authenticated by CEO Xiong Lin. As of now, no response has been received.

  In previous media reports, in Xiong Lin’s message to Ziru’s 6th anniversary, it was revealed that many of Ziru’s 6,000 employees across the country greeted Ziru’s 6th anniversary by running 10.18 kilometers. "I hope that more and more partners will fall in love with running. This year, the gift we gave to colleagues who have been employed for the fifth anniversary is the latest and coolest sports watch."

  On December 23, the reporter contacted the Ziru brand public relations department, and the relevant staff replied: "We hope that every employee who provides services to customers has a caring attitude and a sunny image to provide customers with the best service experience. Therefore, in accordance with the international general health standards, we have formulated recommended indicators for employee weight management to urge employees to manage and improve themselves to maintain a healthy body and full of energy. In addition, Ziruo also regularly organizes long-distance running and other fitness activities to encourage everyone to keep exercising. But there is no management system that uses weight as the sole criterion to determine management promotion or performance evaluation."

  The staff of the Public Relations Department of the Ziru Brand denied that “the weight is not up to the standard, and promotion is not allowed” reported on the Internet, “No, this is an ideal indicator for our reference.”

  "In fact, we just hope that everyone has this awareness and goal, but it is not the only standard system. This still depends on the professional and management capabilities of the promoted personnel." The staff member explained.

The staff member also added, “This is a reference index, not a rigid index.”

  Lawyer's Statement

  It depends on whether the position is necessary for height and weight

  Does the above approach involve employment discrimination?

Regarding this, Lawyer Song Hongyu of Taihetai Law Firm said: “Employment discrimination itself is not a legal concept. If it is required for in-service employees, it mainly involves labor equity issues. Regardless of the position, it must be investigated (height and weight requirements). If it is, it depends on whether the position is necessary for height and weight. "If it belongs to the promotion system, it is equivalent to the necessary regulations on labor conditions. Such regulations should be reflected in the employee code or more important documents.

If (this kind of regulation) is to apply to employees, it must be agreed by employees.

"Attorney Song said, "Even if it's just a daily assessment, it is a relatively core system, which requires employees' consent in a strict sense."

"

  Chen Xiaohu, a lawyer from Beijing Junzejun (Chengdu) Law Firm, believes that according to Article 3 and Article 26 of the Employment Promotion Law of the People’s Republic of China, “In this incident, the weight of the employee was necessary for the employee’s normal work. There is no direct adverse effect, but the employer uses weight as an evaluation item for internal promotion. The employer’s practice is not appropriate and there is a suspicion of violating the Employment Promotion Law."
