Initiatives for Health Management
- We strive to maintain and promote health through activities such as health management and safety and hygiene.
Every month, the 'Health Committee' conducts information sharing and discussion on issues related to hygiene and health, such as improving the workplace environment and managing the health of employees, and lectures by occupational physicians.The contents are publicized on the company's intranet. - We work to prevent mental health issues through implementing stress checks and utilizing counseling services.
- We make every effort to prevent overwork.
- We are committed to promoting the balance between work and home life, including support for child-rearing and caregiving.
Strategic Map
In order to effectively and efficiently manage and invest in health, we have identified the management issues we need to resolve and the health-related issues that lead to the resolution of these management problems. We have established a "strategic map" that visualizes efforts related to maintaining and enhancing health to resolve these issues.
Based on this, we check and verify the status of our efforts and their achievements, and are promoting health management.
