Enterprise weight loss tips Chunghwa Telecom stair climbing card registration

The National Health Administration promotes healthy weight management for employees in the workplace. Following last year's achievement of a weight loss of 500 metric tons, it today once again called on companies to "donate oil as a group" and announced the weight loss tips of each company. For example, in order to encourage employees to climb stairs, Chunghwa Telecom has specially established a "stair card swiping system" to facilitate employees to easily record the number of stairs climbed.

The National Health Administration has been promoting healthy weight management among employees in the workplace, achieving a weight loss of 500 metric tons last year. This year, the promotion will continue and a corporate training manual will be published to provide guidance on how to "donate oil" in a healthy manner.

According to a survey conducted by the National Health Administration last year, as many as 37.6% of employees are overweight or obese. The situation is even worse among male employees, with one in two being overweight or obese. In terms of industry, employees in transportation and warehousing, water supply and pollution control, and agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry are in the top three industries with the highest rates of overweight and obesity.

Chiu Shu-ti, director of the National Health Administration, said that last year, the "Healthy 100, Taiwan Moves" healthy weight management activity was promoted. A total of 5,852 teams of workplace employees across the country were formed, with more than 310,000 people signing up to participate. The weight loss reached more than 500 metric tons, and the average participant lost 1.6 kilograms. In order to promote the health of workplace employees, it was announced today on the 6th that the "Taiwan 101, Jump and Get Healthy" healthy weight management activity will continue to be promoted.

Many companies that responded to the campaign have their own unique weight-loss tips: Chunghwa Telecom's Southern District branch has developed a smart stair card swiping system, which is installed at the corner platforms of stairwells on each floor. Employees can swipe their ID IC cards to keep a record of the number of stairs they have climbed. Chi Mei Electronics' Southern Taiwan Science Park branch organizes "War Camps" for employees with a BMI of more than 24 and those with metabolic syndrome through physical examinations, providing exercise and fitness classes and other sports courses.

AUO uses green (less than 699 calories), yellow (700-900 calories), and red (more than 900 calories) colors on the top of the menu board to distinguish between meal sets with different calorie counts, reminding employees to pay attention to their calorie intake. China Trust Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. holds a no-red-meat day on the 1st of every month, and Kaohsiung Prison provides all inmates with full-day vegetarian meals every Wednesday.

The National Health Administration also provides a "Healthy Living Exercise - Enterprise Edition" training manual, which includes "10 Tips for Bosses", "5 Steps to Promote", "5 Key Points to Management" and "5 Action Tips" to get the workplace fully active and promote the physical and mental health of employees. It can be downloaded from the "Manual Section" of the National Health Administration website (http://www.bhp.doh.gov.tw).
