Guangzhou, December 5, 2025 — The High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative (Guangdong) Briefing Session, part of the "National Pilot Project for Innovation and Integration in the Prevention and Control of Major Chronic Diseases", was convened in Guangzhou. The event was co-hosted by the Management Committee of the National Pilot Project for Innovation and Integration in the Prevention and Control of Major Chronic Diseases and the Working Committee for the High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative, with support from Ping An Healthcare and Technology Company Limited (“Ping An Good Doctor”) and Ping An Property and Casualty Insurance Company of China, Ltd.

The conference aimed to facilitate the implementation of the "Healthy China" strategy in Guangdong through the "High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative", with the goal of establishing an implementable, sustainable, and replicable pilot model. By enhancing proactive health capabilities and health literacy among employees, encouraging them to fulfill their primary responsibility for health, building a scientific and systematic high-quality health service system with evaluation mechanisms, the initiative seeks to comprehensively safeguard the health of the working population.
The conference brought together distinguished guests, including Professor Wang Zhanshan, Secretary-General of the Management Committee of the National Pilot Project for Innovation and Integration in the Prevention and Control of Major Chronic Diseases and concurrently Secretary-General of the Working Committee for the High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative; Professor Tian Junzhang, Deputy Director of the Health Management Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and former Party Secretary of Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital (Guangdong Emergency Hospital); Mr. Su Dong, Party Secretary and Deputy General Manager of Ping An Healthcare and Technology Company Limited; and Mr. Liu Yanbo, Deputy General Manager of Ping An Property & Casualty Insurance Company of China, Ltd., Guangdong Branch. Over a hundred representatives from various government agencies, enterprises, and public institutions across Guangdong Province attended the event.
01 Opening Remarks
In his opening speech, Professor Tian Junzhang emphasized that the High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative briefing session launched in Guangzhou is a crucial practice for implementing the "Healthy China" strategy and safeguarding the health of the working population. He highlighted the intertwined challenges of traditional occupational diseases, chronic diseases, and mental health issues, which are driving the transformation of the medical service model from "treatment-centric" to "health-centric". The core of this transformation lies in practicing the "proactive health" concept, strengthening early screening and risk intervention, and promoting cross-sectoral "integrated innovation" to build a coordinated "prevention, treatment, management, and promotion" service model involving multiple stakeholders. He expressed hope that this pilot initiative will establish a demonstrable practice pathway for workplace health management.
In his speech, Mr. Su Dong stated that health is the foundation of personal well-being, the source of workplace vitality, and the cornerstone of enterprise development. Building a healthy workplace relies on policy guidance, enterprise commitment, and the dedicated efforts of professional service institutions. Effective corporate health management, he noted, must align with the health management needs of business operations while meeting the individual health needs of employees. It requires both solid professional services to ensure health security and the delivery of humanistic care to achieve a win-win situation for both enterprises and employees. In the future, Ping An will take this briefing session as an opportunity to closely align with the pilot initiative, committing its optimal resources, dedicated teams, and comprehensive services to fully support the development of high-quality workplace health. It will leverage its professional capabilities to safeguard employee health, inject healthy momentum into enterprise development, and help enterprises and employees achieve mutual benefits.
02 Interpretation of the High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative Framework
Professor Wang Zhanshan provided a comprehensive and detailed interpretation of the framework, offering in-depth insights into its core content and practical pathways, thereby providing clear guidance for the attending representatives from enterprises and public institutions. He emphasized, "Employees dedicate the prime years of their lives to work units, and enterprises have a responsibility to account for their health." He pointed out that traditional physical examinations can no longer fully meet employee health needs. High-quality workplace health management must move beyond a single-examination model and upgrade into a systematic project encompassing risk prevention, health literacy enhancement, and other dimensions. Enterprises, as the primary responsible entities, should increase their health investments, as "health investment is positively correlated with employee lifespan." This pilot project uses ten key, easily quantifiable personal health metrics, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and sleep quality. The project will promote the implementation of corporate health management through a four-tier assessment framework. During his presentation, Professor Wang further elucidated the scientific and practical nature of the framework by incorporating practical health knowledge. He clarified that health management should focus on key populations and core needs to help narrow employee health gaps. He called on enterprises and public institutions to actively participate in the pilot initiative, integrate health management into corporate strategy, earnestly fulfill the primary responsibility for health, enable employees to achieve "50 Years of Healthy Work," and infuse corporate strength into the implementation of the "Healthy China" strategy.
03 Introduction of High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative Implementation Plan
At the conference, Director Xu Ye presented a comprehensive overview of the plan. The core of the "High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative" plan is to provide employees with personalized health management services through integrated online and offline measures. The plan's content covers the implementation process, the four-tier framework, service standards at each level, detailed operational guidelines, and the digital service platform. Furthermore, the project team will offer coaching support to participating enterprises to ensure the efficient implementation of the pilot initiative.
04 Case Study: Best Practices in Workplace Health Management
Professor Zhao Li shared the practical achievements in workplace health management from the Health Management Center of Shenzhen People's Hospital. She stated that the Health Management Center has established a digital and smart health management service system and platform. Through digitalized health risk assessments, multidisciplinary collaboration, a health management network, AI-driven hierarchical and categorized management, and systematic linkage via an MDT model, along with forming dedicated health management service teams, establishing health medicine outpatient clinics and research institutes, it has provided a solid guarantee for the implementation of workplace health management services.
05 Ping An’s Insights and Practices in High-Quality Workplace Health
Mr. Huang Ji systematically addressed the key challenges in employee health management from the perspective of actual business operations. He pointed out that the traditional model of "employee physical examinations + medical insurance" can no longer meet modern workplace health needs. There is an urgent requirement to integrate multi-party resources and establish unified industry standards to create synergistic effects, thereby building a high-quality healthy workplace ecosystem suited to the characteristics of Chinese enterprises. Guided by the High-Quality Workplace Health Management Pilot Initiative Implementation Plan, Ping An has innovatively launched the "Ping An Corporate Health Protection Plan" by leveraging its six core service advantages: "professional corporate health management experience, global medical service network, global emergency assistance, in-company services, 24/7 services provided by Peking University International Hospital certified family doctors, and in-home services." To date, Ping An has provided professional and convenient medical and health service systems for over 4,500 domestic enterprises, continuously enhancing employee health benefit experiences and corporate health management standards.
06 Concluding Remarks
Professor Liu Li delivered the concluding speech for the conference, highly commending the fruitful outcomes achieved in policy interpretation, pathway exploration, and practical experience exchange during the Guangzhou briefing session. She noted that workplace health management in the new era is evolving toward systematization and proactivity. She emphasized the importance of cross-sector collaboration, calling on medical institutions, enterprises, technology firms, and the insurance sector to jointly build a "medical-enterprise-research-insurance" integrated health ecosystem. She pointed out the close link between workplace health and regional development, emphasizing that Guangzhou and the Greater Bay Area are well-positioned to serve as a national model, and invited all parties to actively participate in the upcoming National Experience Exchange Conference in Beijing this December 2025.
