Health management

Basic Idea

The Group deems it one of our essential management missions to keep every employee in good health. We embrace the concept of well-being, which tells us that health means to be in good physical, mental and social conditions. To encourage all of us in the Group to enjoy well-being, we are implementing various actions. We respect the ILO International Labor Standards and observe various labor-related laws and regulations. Also, to provide employees with an environment where they can work lively for many years in good health, we organized the Hygiene Meeting to arouse employees’ consciousness of hygiene, administered stress testing, and took measures to reduce overtime work.

Good Health Promotion Management Initiative

Good Health Promotion Committee

We provide health checkups to monitor employee health and identify health issues. We also provide programs designed to promote healthy living.
We conduct inspections to verify the effect of measures taken and set a health promotion goal.

A person in good health, both mentally and physically, can afford to be nice and considerate to oneself and the people around. It is a general belief that such a healthy person radiates potent energy positively toward many things. Implementing health management for all the officers and employees in the Group, I think, would help us all disseminate positive energies, heighten creativity, raise productivity, activate spirit for challenges, and enhance individual resourcefulness. Consequently, health management should improve human resource potential, which empowers the driving force for the Group to grow more. Thus, I strongly hope that our continuing efforts to improve the workplace environment lead to a positive cycle linked to uninterrupted company growth.

CHO is an acronym for Chief Health Officer, who bears the highest responsibility for improving the employees’ wellness. The officer supervises activities related to the employees’ health management.

Current status of health management promotion

1．Support for employees’ health management

Under the supervision of medical professionals, including occupational physicians and full-time public health nurses, we manage and support employees’ health.

⑴Maintenance of physical health

・Support for employees’ health management
Based on the result of the physical checkup, occupational physicians send letters to employees, as the case may be, recommending second and thorough examinations.

・Regular “health consultation”
We provide health guidance on diet and exercise to employees diagnosed to suffer an incipient lifestyle-related illness. Thus, we are advancing health management to protect employees from diseases.

⑵Maintenance of mental health

・Mental Healthcare
By making consultation services available to employees, we aim to prevent them from suffering mental disorders. Further, to avoid the symptoms’ recurrence, we provide continuing care by ascertaining physical conditions and consultations with physicians to support the employees returning to work.

・Stress Check
All employees including those working in the offices with 50 employees or fewer are recommended to take the stress check. The result of the checking is used to improve the working environment.

⑶Others

Clinical thermometers and blood pressure monitors are installed at each office to support employees' health through the early prevention of disease. Also, as a measure to check long working hours, supervisors are instructed to moderate working hours.

2．Breeding consciousness of health

We are undertaking a measure to breed health consciousness in employees’ minds by distributing ideas good for health they can practice easily in their daily lives.

3．Improvement of the work environment

We recommend moving the stairs between floors. We have also introduced electric standing desks at our Tokyo Head Office to address the health risks posed by sitting and standing up too much.

4．Sports support for employees

We support our employees' “club activities” and their “individual sports initiatives”. The purpose of “club activities” is to promote health through excitement among employees through common hobbies. As for “individual sports initiatives”, we recruit supporters through public recruitment and provide funds for activities under a system based on the theme of “pursuit of humanity” set forth in our management plan.

5．Promotion of exercise opportunities

We are actively promoting initiatives that allow employees to participate in activities remotely even during the telework environment. These initiatives include organizing “walking events”, in which our employees use a common pedometer application to compete for the number of steps they take during a set period of time, and distributing “health fitness videos”, where employees who are athletes introduce stretch and torso training that can be easily done at either employees’ desks or homes, as well as arranging “online health seminar”.
