Health classes

We regularly hold seminars for our employees on lifestyle habits. Focusing on nutrition, exercise and rest, the three main things needed to maintain good health, these seminars enable employees to better understand smoking and lifestyle diseases.

Mental healthcare promotion

To implement measures for preventing mental disorders, we conduct workplace improvement training based on the results of a stress check organization diagnosis. We also utilize an external organization called EAP (Employment Assistance Program) to provide systematic training for managers and employees.

Cancer support

We arrange testing for the five main kinds of cancer (lung cancer, intestinal cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer and uterine cancer) and encourage employees to get tested. For lung cancer, intestinal cancer and stomach cancer, our regular health examinations include all tests required by law, as well as some additional tests. For female-specific diseases such as breast cancer and uterine cancer, our company encourages female employees to get tested by providing them with a certain level of subsidies.
