Health cannot wait; it is a core belief that should be prioritized every moment. From promoting health knowledge, upgrading the work environment, to providing comprehensive physical and mental support, we strive to create a safe and comfortable workplace; we also hope that partners can continue the successful experience of these six weeks into the future, allowing the concept of health to truly integrate into every aspect of life. Protecting the overall well-being of employees is not only Coupang's commitment but also the cornerstone of sustainable business operations.
A key innovation in this year's program was the deep integration of AI technology. This included AI-driven assessments for diet and nutrition, guided online exercise courses, and precise analysis of physical fitness. This technological enhancement made health management more intelligent and accurate, contributing significantly to the participants' success.
Mark Ross, Coupang Taiwan's Head of Environmental Safety and Health, highlighted the company's dedication to employee welfare. He stated, "Health cannot wait; it is a core belief that should be prioritized every moment." Coupang strives to create a safe and comfortable workplace by promoting health knowledge, improving work environments, and offering comprehensive physical and mental support.
This year, when I had one-on-one consultations with the company's nurse, I was reminded of my overweight and fatty liver issues, which led me to join the health promotion program. This made me start taking my diet and health seriously. The AI App provided by the company this time greatly helped my weight loss process, especially in terms of dietary control. I used to have no idea that a large plate of fruit actually has very high calories. Now I can use the AI App to record meals anytime and accurately grasp daily calorie intake. Coupled with the one-hour fitness class every week, it gave me a chance to exercise, as I rarely do aerobic exercise. In six weeks, I successfully lost at least 5 kilograms!
Participants shared positive experiences. Mr. Guo, a logistics partner, noted the AI app's crucial role in his weight loss journey, helping him understand calorie intake from foods like fruit. He lost at least 5 kilograms in six weeks. Supervisor Yang, who participated last year and lost 15 kilograms, used his accumulated nutritional knowledge from the previous program to reinforce healthy eating habits this year, seeing improvements in his blood pressure and uric acid levels.
From participating in company activities last year to now, I have lost a total of 15 kilograms. Earlier this year, when my body showed warning signs, I immediately recalled the nutritional knowledge I learned last year and decided to implement healthy eating more thoroughly. The knowledge accumulated last year became the key opportunity for me to restart my health this year. In addition to continuing to adjust my diet this year, I also incorporated strength training and other exercises, and my blood pressure and uric acid levels have improved. My goal is to regain a lighter and healthier physique within two years.
