Hekto Group is running 'Ttubok Ttubok Challenge Season 7' until the 29th, linking employees' steps to sharing for children with childhood cancer.

In the event, about 840 Hekto Group employees will take part in a 28-day challenge to walk 8,000 steps a day. Hekto Group plans to provide a total of 25 million won in treatment costs for children with childhood cancer through the challenge.

The challenge runs for 4 weeks. Participants carry out a daily walking mission and take part in team activities and weekly events. If all participating employees meet the goal of 8,000 steps every day for 28 days, the total steps will reach about 188 million.

The company also prepared a programme to encourage communication among colleagues. Through 'Make Friends', which forms teams at random each week, employees can take part in missions with co-workers they rarely interacted with and earn additional points.

During the challenge period, it will also run weekly events such as 'Land Grab', 'Fitness Test' and 'Hidden Spot', along with 'One-Day Speed Ttubok'. Now in its 7th year, the 'Ttubok Ttubok Challenge' has focused on building healthy walking habits and encouraging interaction among colleagues, and from this season it has expanded to include donations.

The company will donate 30,000 won per participant from rewards it provides to employees who join the challenge, regardless of participation level. The donations will be delivered to the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation through the sharing programme 'Hekto Georeum Moa' and used to support treatment costs for children with childhood cancer.

Yu Ju-song (유주송), head of the corporate culture office at Hekto Group, said he hopes each employee’s steps will lead beyond activities with colleagues to meaningful sharing. He said the company will build healthy habits together through the Ttubok Ttubok Challenge and continue a corporate culture that communicates across affiliates and departments while practicing sharing.
