Specific Initiatives
Occupational Health and Safety/Risk Management
Regarding occupational safety and health, we take the following measures to promote the safety and health of our employees, based on the Industrial Safety and Health Act and other relevant laws and regulations, as well as the "Safety and Health Management Regulations".
- Formulate an annual plan for safety and health and mental health promotion (P) ⇒ Execute (D) ⇒ Review (C, A)
- At monthly health committee meetings, the employer (general manager, industrial physician, health manager) and the employee (safety and health officers recommended by employee representatives) discuss measures to promote health and prevent workplace accidents at each site
- Conduct weekly workplace inspections
- Regular report to the risk management department
Health Checkup/Health Guidance
We thoroughly encourage 100% of employees to undergo re-examinations after regular health checkups and follow-up interviews (health guidance) by the occupational physician. We also raise awareness of specific health guidance provided by health insurance associations, and work to address lifestyle-related diseases at an early stage and prevent them from worsening.
Cancer screening
With the aim of early detection of cancer, we subsidize the cost of various cancer screenings (lung cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and prostate cancer). We strive to increase the screening rate by making it easier to get screened, for example by conducting screenings during regular health checkups and providing breast cancer screening near the workplace using the mammobus.
Promoting health-promoting habits
We encourage employees to register for the health promotion app "QOLism" provided by QOLead, a member of the Dai-ichi Life Group, and introduce and promote the use of content such as employees' exercise habits, weight and meal records.
In addition to events held by the health insurance association, we also support employee health promotion through activities such as the company's own departmental walking events sponsored by the Prime Association, which is a representative group of employees, and the provision of stretching videos that can be done in spare time. In January 2024, we were certified as a "Sports Yell Company" by the Japan Sports Agency.
No smoking
We provide support for employees who wish to quit smoking by offering an app-based smoking cessation support program and providing financial assistance.
Infectious disease prevention measures
We are making efforts to prevent the spread of infection on a daily basis, such as installing temperature measuring machines and alcohol-based disinfectant when entering the office floor and making appeals through the hygiene committee. In addition, in preparation for an emergency situation such as a pandemic, we are preparing response measures and stockpiling supplies based on regulations and standards.
Measures against long working hours
When a certain number of hours have been worked, the working hours are notified to the employee's supervisor via the work system, and regular checks are conducted in the middle of the month to prevent long working hours from occurring.
Company-wide working targets are also set and notified to each department at the beginning of the fiscal year, with feedback on the situation being provided every month.
Even if long working hours occur, the Human Resources department speaks with the department manager and superiors to implement specific improvement measures to reduce the number of long working hours and ensures that employees working long hours do not continue.
Mental health measures
For employees to work energetically, it is important that they are healthy both physically and mentally.
Our company takes the following measures to detect and prevent mental disorders early.
Stress Check
While the test is primarily conducted in conjunction with regular health checkups, the period during which employees can take the test is extended so that employees on long-term leave, such as childcare leave, can take the test after returning to work, making it available to more employees.
In addition, the results of group analysis are feedbacked to each department and used to improve organizational operation and management.
Pulse Survey
When there are changes in the work environment, such as transfers, the risk of mental health problems increases. We conduct monthly mental health surveys for new employees, mid-career hires, and transferred employees, allowing them to manage their own mental health.
Counseling Services
We have introduced a service that allows employees to consult with psychological experts about their everyday worries. This service does not go through the company, and employees can consult about anything, not just physical and mental problems, so they can feel free to seek advice.
Training
We regularly conduct line care training for department heads and self-care training for employees. In addition, we have published a line care manual for the entire company, which is useful for department heads in their line care responsibilities.
