Warm sun, strawberries, and time to unwind: an employee recharge day that multiplied the warmth at PatientsForce

At the PatientsForce (Media-WIND Health Group) employee day, unlike the challenge-based, goal-driven format of traditional corporate team building, employees' physical and mental recharge and downtime took priority over everyday team performance targets. PatientsForce's 2025 employee day was reimagined as an Employee Wellness Day. More than a perk, it was a deep expression of the company's people-first culture — a low-pressure, restorative program designed to turn heartfelt gratitude and care for our colleagues into the energy to keep moving forward.

Stepping into a time tunnel: deepening team bonds amid light and shadow

The itinerary for PatientsForce's employee day deliberately steered clear of high-competition or elaborate group tasks, focusing instead on dedicated quality time and total restoration of body and mind.

Our first stop was Miaoli's famous Gongweixu Tunnel. Completed in 1903 (Meiji 36 of the Japanese era), this red-brick tunnel stretches roughly 460 meters and is now more than a century old.

A world away from the brisk pace of the office, colleagues slowed down for the day. Amid the shifting light and shadow, they wandered in small groups — not just snapping photos, but sharing rare heart-to-heart conversations along the walking trail. There were no hierarchies, only laughter and stories from daily life. The walk embodied the PatientsForce team spirit: whatever the road ahead, we are always willing to walk side by side, listen to one another, light each other's way, and step into our own brilliance together.

Strawberry kingdom: harvesting our own sweet rewards

Toward noon, the air in Dahu filled with a sweet, fruity fragrance. Colleagues threaded through the strawberry fields, baskets in hand, experiencing the joy of picking the fruits of their own labor. Everyone came away with full baskets and beaming smiles — sharing a harvest earned through their own effort, much like sharing the sweet rewards that follow hard work on the job. Every strawberry in hand became the "berry" best memory of the day.

At lunchtime, the team headed to Brother Fan's Restaurant, a local favorite recommended by food lovers, for creative Chinese cuisine. Then came a lunchtime surprise: golden beer paired with fresh strawberries! This sweet treat, nowhere on the original itinerary, sent the room's energy soaring. Every bite of sweet strawberry became the warmest nourishment for the team's spirit.

Deep relaxation: de-stress and recharge

The professional massage that closed the day was the decisive touch setting this event apart from traditional team building. It wasn't preparation for the next task — it was about fully releasing the strain of long days at the desk and on the road. Under the therapists' expert acupressure and foot massage, everyone shed the weight from their shoulders and necks and recharged their bodies.

Carrying the PatientsForce spirit forward

This outing was more than a perk — it was a recharge for the soul. From the thoughtful conversations in Gongweixu Tunnel to complete relaxation of body and mind, every moment reflected PatientsForce's culture of thriving together with people.

We will turn these beautiful memories into momentum, and with tighter rapport and renewed spirit, keep bringing the power of PatientsForce to our work — creating ever more value for the health industry!
