Obtained "Gold Certification" as a Healthy Company
As a company that is actively engaged in health management and health promotion initiatives, our company was certified as a "Health Excellent Company (Gold Certification)" by the Tokyo Promotion Council for Healthy Company Declaration on December 25, 2023.
We will continue to work toward maintaining and promoting health and health management, aiming to be a company where employees can work with enthusiasm. (Kenkin No. 175)
Health and Productivity Management Goals
One of our company-wide OKRs* is to become a company where employees can be proud to work.
By promoting the key measures of "maintaining and improving physical and mental health" and "creating a comfortable working environment," we aim to create a safe and secure working environment where all employees can work energetically and maximize their abilities at any stage of life.
OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results. It involves setting multiple Key Results (specific indicators for measuring progress toward the Objectives) for the Objectives that an organization aims to achieve.
Health and Productivity Management Promotion System
The President and CEO is the Chief Health and Productivity Management Officer, and the Director in charge of human resources is the Health and Productivity Management Promoter. The Human Resources and General Affairs Department is in charge of coordinating with related departments such as the health insurance association, industrial physicians and nurses, industrial health staff, and health and productivity management promoters to promote health and productivity management throughout the company.

Employees aged 35 and over can also undergo colon cancer screening, stomach cancer screening, and abdominal ultrasound examinations (when selecting lifestyle-related disease prevention health check/health checkup).
We provide gynecological checkups (breast cancer and uterine cancer screenings) to female employees aged 30 or older, and prostate cancer screenings to male employees aged 50 or older, as an option at no cost to them.Starting in fiscal year 2023, we will add a "transvaginal ultrasound examination" to enhance our uterine cancer screening. This will lead to the early detection of gynecological diseases (endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer, etc.).

3. Improving health literacy
Health education and information dissemination

Health portal site "PepUp"
We use the health portal site "PepUp" as a tool to improve health literacy.
By visualizing health status and providing health information, we encourage employees to change their health behavior. -
Providing health information
To provide information on health promotion, we publish "Health News" written by public health nurses and "Health Columns" written by external counselors.
At the monthly health committee meetings, in cooperation with industrial physicians, we take up seasonal or current themes to improve the health literacy of our employees. -
Health guidance (industrial physician/public health nurse)
An industrial physician reviews the health check results of all employees and makes employment and health guidance decisions.
We provide health guidance interviews, primarily to those at high risk of developing lifestyle-related diseases, and encourage them to visit a medical institution as needed, as well as provide advice on sleep, diet, exercise, and smoking cessation.
Online yoga held
As the number of employees working from home has increased, we have been offering "online yoga" classes led by professional trainers since fiscal 2020 to help employees get enough exercise and take care of their mental health. Currently, these classes are held twice a month, in the morning and evening.
Establishment of internal and external consultation desks
-
Industrial physician consultation service
We have appointed an industrial physician at business locations with fewer than 50 employees, and three industrial physicians have been selected and appointed for the entire company.
We also provide online consultations for those working from home, and have a system in place that allows employees to consult directly with an industrial physician via email. -
Lunchtime health consultations by public health nurses
A health consultation room run by a public health nurse is open once a week during lunchtime.
You can consult face-to-face or online about mental and physical health issues, concerns about balancing work and treatment, etc. -
Establishment of External Consultation Desk (EAP)
We have set up a consultation desk with external counselors that employees and their families can easily use.
Your personal information will not be made public to the company, and consultations are free of charge. -

We have a contract with Benefit One Co., Ltd. to provide the employee welfare service "Benefit Station."
