Norway isn't the ideal model for some things like office bathroom policies. Female staff in one Norway company have to wear red bracelets to signal they have their period - which then warrants them more bathroom breaks.
This crazy demand was revealed in a report by a workers' union into 'tyrannical' toilet rules in Norwegian companies.
The study found businesses were becoming obsessed with lost productivity due to employees spending too much time in the loo; 66 per cent of managers made staff ask them for an electronic key card to gain access to the toilets so they could monitor them.
Some companies even had bathroom video-surveillance. Others made staff sign a toilet 'visitors book.'
