Professor Luo Li stated that China is at a critical stage where chronic diseases are highly prevalent alongside occupational health risks. The National Pilot Project for Innovation and Integration in the Prevention and Control of Major Chronic Diseases and the High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative represent an important practice in implementing the “Healthy China 2030” strategy. They mark a new phase in which chronic disease prevention and control extend beyond medical institutions to workplace settings, entering a stage of systematic management. Focusing on “Integration of Healthcare and Wellness, Data-Driven Strategy, and Standardization First,” the program expands the scope of chronic disease management from hospitals to enterprises, promoting a transition in workplace health from “Check-Up Based Management” to “Life-Course Proactive Health,” and from “Disease Identification” to “Risk Prevention.” Through digital management, intelligent assessment, and personalized intervention, the initiative deepens the integration of occupational health and chronic disease prevention. As a national pilot city, Shanghai will take this opportunity to build replicable and scalable healthy workplaces model, safeguarding the health of its workforce and contributing to national health and high-quality development.
Professor Wang Zhanshan provided a detailed explanation of the “High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative Framework”. He emphasized that the core of health strategy lies in “prevention”. Integrating health management into corporate development strategy is essential to enhancing an organization’s core competitiveness. Promoting workplace health management is not only a responsibility for employee well-being but also a new driver for high-quality corporate growth. Professor Wang Zhanshan advocated enterprises and public institutions in Shanghai to take proactive steps in placing employee health at the strategic core of corporate management. He emphasized strengthening the proactive health philosophy, enhancing scientific management capabilities, and tangibly boosting employees’ sense of fulfillment, happiness, and security. He further called for broader business participation in workplace health management and services to co-build healthy and sustainable enterprises.
Director Xu Ye provided an in-depth interpretation of the “High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Program Implementation Plan”. He explained that the plan encompasses the implementation process, a four-tier structure system, service standards at each level, detailed operational guidelines, and a digital service platform. Xu emphasized the plan’s core mission: “to provide employees with personalized health management services through a blended online and offline model.” He outlined the essential pillars for building a smart health management system that spans all enterprises and institutions: a foundation of data-driven strategies, the guidance of standardized protocols, and the power of multi-stakeholder collaboration. By establishing on-site health service stations, enhancing digital health records, deploying intelligent risk assessments, and implementing personalized intervention mechanisms, the project will drive the systematic, standardized, and sustainable evolution of workplace health management, positioning it as a nationally recognized benchmark for excellence.
In his presentation, Mr. Xiao Xiong outlined how the Nanjing East Locomotive and Rolling Stock Depot, adhering to the principles of “Prevention First, Precision Implementation, and Full Participation,” has successfully established an integrated “System + Service + Activity” health management model. This model serves as a practical benchmark for the high-intensity transportation industry. To address the unique demands of railway operations, the Depot has fortified its health safeguards for safe production through comprehensive measures—including dynamic health monitoring, precision physical examinations, intelligent health checks in dispatch rooms, and full-coverage emergency care. Concurrently, by fostering a robust health culture and deploying multi-dimensional services, it has achieved “full-cycle, full-coverage, zero-distance” health protection for its entire workforce. The pilot program has yielded significant outcomes: it has not only maintained a 100% physical examination rate for five consecutive years but also reduced the detection rate of hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia (collectively known as the “Three Highs”) by 3.4 percentage points since 2021, increased the health compliance rate by 18 percentage points, raised the proportion of employees who exercise regularly to 68%, and reduced sick leave days by 15%. This has established a virtuous cycle wherein “Health Promotes Safety, and Safety Drives Development.” Looking ahead, Nanjing East Locomotive and Rolling Stock Depot will continue its upgrade towards “smart and precise” operations, leveraging data empowerment and personalized services to contribute solid railway strength to the “Healthy China” strategy and the building of a country with a strong transportation network.
Mr. Huang Ji shared Ping An’s insights and practices in the field of building high-quality healthy workplaces. He analyzed multiple pain points in employee health management from a corporate perspective, noting that “judging from implementation, enterprises have faced numerous challenges in establishing healthy workplaces, such as difficulties in coordinating medical resources, diverse employee needs, and the slow effectiveness of self-funded programs.” He emphasized that building a healthy workplace now goes far beyond the traditional simple combination of “employee physical examinations + medical insurance.” Establishing unified standards, integrating advantages, and collaborating to build healthy workplaces are expected to set a benchmark for high-quality healthy workplaces with Chinese characteristics. In recent years, Ping An has thoroughly implemented the National Health Commission’s “Guidelines for Health Enterprise Development” and Level 4 Evaluation Standards of the Chinese Medical Association Health Management Branch. Combining its own industry-leading capabilities in needs insight, service operation, and compliance assurance, Ping An has explored and launched the “Ping An Corporate Health Protection Plan”. This plan aims to help more corporate employers build a “professional and convenient” healthcare services system, continuously enhancing employees’ sense of benefit fulfillment and health sustainability. It is reported that, as of now, Ping An is collaborating with over 4,500 domestic enterprises to jointly practice high-quality healthy workplace construction.
Mr. Su Dong, Deputy General Manager of Ping An Good Doctor, stated that the healthy workplace is a vital component of the “Healthy China 2030” strategy and an important foundation for sustainable social and economic development. Currently, employee health has evolved from a “soft benefit” to “core competitiveness.” Ping An is committed to collaborating with all stakeholders to address workplace health management challenges through scientific, precise, and intelligent solutions, achieving mutual benefits for both enterprises and employees.
In concluding remarks, Professor Bai Yonghai, a Standing Committee Member of the Chinese Medical Association’s Health Management Branch from Shanghai Changzheng Hospital, Naval Medical University, stated that the briefing had systematically charted the development path for high-quality workplace health management, spanning strategic planning, implementation pathways, and corporate practices. He characterized it as a crucial mobilization event that built consensus and set a clear direction. Professor Bai pointed out that the pilot initiative grasps two core tenets: “forward-shifting the focus of the prevention and control system” and “integrated health services and holistic care.” This approach not only advances the front line of health management directly into the workplace, implementing the “prevention-first” principle, but also enhances organizational vitality through a holistic mind-body concept, offering a new paradigm for establishing a scientific and systematic healthy workplace ecosystem. He emphasized the significant implications of Shanghai’s role as a pioneering pilot city. To further promote the pilot’s outcomes, Professor Bai expressed his hope that all units would actively participate in the “National Exchange Conference on the Pilot Project for Innovative Integration in the Prevention and Control of Major Chronic Diseases and the High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative,” scheduled for December 11-12, 2025, in Beijing, to jointly advance the high-quality development of workplace health management.
