Why do we need to promote a healthy workplace?
From a corporate perspective, the physical and mental health of employees is of paramount importance. Employees spend more than one-third of their day in the workplace, serving the company.

It also enhances the centripetal force of employees and increases the image and overall competitiveness of the company. Therefore, how to promote workplace health promotion has become the most urgent issue for enterprises to solve.

For the promotion of workplace health promotion, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the "Workplace Holistic Health Promotion Model" in 2010, which emphasizes the four major dimensions of "Physical Work Environment", "Psychosocial Work Environment", "Personal Health Resources", and "Corporate Social Involvement". Eight major steps, namely action, integration, needs assessment, prioritization, planning, implementation, evaluation and improvement, are adopted to optimize the process and encourage enterprises to recycle the process. In addition to following the World Health Organization's guidelines, companies can also use the following five points to build their own processesFive Heart Healthy Workplaces.

In addition to workplace-based health promotion activities, companies can also organize health promotion seminars or thematic activities from time to time.

For example, aerobics classes, corporate sports events, etc., allow teams to temporarily leave their natural environments and exercise together, so that employees become physically fit and can unite the team's centripetal force.
Corporate Games are the best choice for a motivational corporate education program.

While releasing their bodies and minds, the Games also help them to regain their passion for work, so that they have more energy to face all kinds of challenges in the workplace.
