Health Promotion Initiatives by Altius Link

Altius Link is driven by its core purpose: 'To strengthen, beautify, and enrich connections.' The company is dedicated to fostering a work environment where employees can thrive and maintain their health. They have integrated 'health management' as a crucial foundation of their business activities.

Currently, only 18.7% of Altius Link employees maintain regular exercise habits, compared to the national average of 34.6% from the National Health and Nutrition Survey. To tackle this issue, Altius Link is implementing various initiatives, including organizing events and promoting circle activities that encourage a more active lifestyle.

Notable Events and Circle Activities

1. Walking Events: Altius Link holds walking events twice a year to encourage employees to incorporate more movement into their routines. These events are designed to be accessible, allowing participants to simply walk an average of 3,000 steps in a day. Over 2,172 employees have participated, making it a valuable opportunity for them to reflect on their health and fitness.

2. Development of Original Exercise Program: In collaboration with the experts at Kururu, Altius Link has created a unique set of exercises tailored to the BPO industry. This 'Altius Link Exercise' program can be performed in a short span of time and requires minimal space. Internal experience events have been organized to familiarize employees with these exercises, which will be integrated into daily activities going forward.

3. Promotion of Circle Activities: To enhance communication and cultivate corporate culture, Altius Link supports various internal circle activities. Sports-related circles, including baseball, futsal, and badminton, comprise half of the total activities and contribute significantly to the health improvement of employees.

Going forward, Altius Link continues to regard the health of its employees as a vital management priority, advocating for a corporate culture that prioritizes well-being.
