XUZHOU, China, March 18, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

XCMG (000425.SZ) is launching an upgraded edition of its Total Health Program

(THP) to celebrate International Day of Happiness on March 20, its first global

health initiative which was introduced a year ago as a response to increasing

health risk challenges and to offer support for employees worldwide to live

healthy, better lifestyles.

With a slogan of "Better Health, Better Future!" THP emphasizes "prevention

first" and aims to help XCMG employees to improve health, immunity and

strength. Through employee voting and interactive activities, THP has refreshed

its operations standards and detailed rules for the initiative, promoting a

healthy and happy lifestyle from the perspectives of physical and mental health

on a personal level as well as creating a better working environment to improve

employees' sense of happiness and satisfaction.

"Facing the crisis of the pandemic, it's important to cherish life, and one's

health is the foundation of everything," said Wang Min, Chairman and CEO of

XCMG. "Compared with the definition of health in a traditional sense, THP not

only emphasizes physical health, but also the health of mind and spirit,

society, environment, morality and literacy. It's a deeper health concept that

extends to a wider range of factors."

The new THP guidelines encourage XCMG employees to complete two 30-minute

workout sessions every week. Zhang Yujie from the XCMG excavator division took

up running after he joined the THP in 2020 and having started from only 10

minutes has now achieved the result of completing 5kms in 30 minutes.

"Pain is inevitable, but we get to choose to push through the hardship. It's

the same thing as pressure at work, so it's important to be a better self every

day with just a little progress," said Zhang.

Other highlighted health measures that are being recommended as part of the new

THP include:

- Improve safety awareness;

- Ensure a quality sleep of 7-8 hours daily;

- Boost immunity and avoid antibiotics overuse;

- Take first aid and emergency response training and exercises;

- Conduct garbage sorting and travel sustainably;

- Eat cautiously and drink a sufficient amount of water daily;

- Establish long-term career planning and set short-, medium- and long-term

goals.
