Promotion system
The Chairman and CEO is at the top of promoting health management, and the Health Management Project Team, which consists of members from related departments and selected employees from each site working is working to implement measures promptly.
In addition, discussions and information sharing are conducted at the safety and health committee attended by management and industrial physician as a forum for labor-management consultations.
In the other cases, for the purpose of information sharing and consultation with employee representatives, employee representatives at each site are appointed as health management promotion officers and participate as members of the health management project team.
Furthermore, we are working to improve and enhance the effectiveness of our measures by collaborating with the insurer (Association kempo) and utilizing external organizations.
Health management goals
We have positioned “smoking prohibition” and “regular health checkups for those with health problems” as the most basic actions to maintain the health of our employees, and we aim to ensure that all employees are thoroughly familiar with both of these actions.
In addition, we are planning and implementing measures from the three perspectives of “exercise,” “diet,” and “rest” to promote health.
Based on the above, we have set specific numerical targets for the promotion of health management.
