Workplace wellness initiative to improve working environments

The China branch of the CEO Roundtable on Cancer, a United States-based NGO, published its updated CEO Cancer Gold Standard on Aug 31.

The workplace wellness program promotes healthy working environments by calling employers to action to gain the sought-after certification. The branch has issued such accreditations in China since 2014.

Four new provisions, including providing support for female employees taking HPV vaccines to prevent cervical cancer and offering mental health support for employees, especially cancer patients, were included in the update.
