Health management

In March 2017, we declared our commitment to Health and Productivity Management, and under the guiding principles of management that values and nurtures people, we aim to maintain and promote the health of our employees and their families.
We are convinced that healthy and energetic employees, both mentally and physically, who perform their duties at their best will enhance labor productivity, promote company growth, and lead to wider contributions to society.

We work with internal and external organizations, primarily Human Resources, to implement various measures

The Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations Recognition Program is a program that recognizes major corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that practice particularly outstanding health management, through initiatives refl0ecting community health issues and efforts toward good health as promoted by the Nippon Kenko Kaigi.

Assessment of The Pack’s health management (FY2023 application)

• Overall ranking: 1,901-1,950out of 3520 companies
• Overall assessment: 49.3(up 1.4 points from the previous score of 47.9)

As the number of companies participating in this program increases, there is a need for more advanced and proactive health management efforts. Under our policy of management that values and nurtures people, we will strive to maintain and improve the health of employees and their families.

We provide regular health checkups for all employees, including part-time employees. The most recent percentages of employees undergoing these exams, for FY2021, shows that while 100% of employees underwent regular health checkups, only 57.8% underwent secondary examinations. More than one quarter of our employees, or 26.6%, underwent secondary examinations. Employees found to require urgent treatment based on examination results are encouraged to be examined through letters and telephone calls from public health nurses with the health insurance society. We will continue to confirm that employees understand the importance of undergoing secondary examinations instead of taking checkup results lightly.
※Part-time employees are not included because they may join and leave the company throughout the year.

We’re promoting a smoking cessation challenge program for the health of employees and their families. At the time of a March 2021 survey, 27% of Company employees were smokers, a figure much higher than the national adult average of 16.7% (according to the National Health and Nutrition Survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare). The following initiatives were taken by the human resources department, along with thorough promotion of the health insurance company’s smoke-free program. The survey conducted in April 2022 showed 23.7%, down from 27.1% in the previous period. We will continue encouraging employees to quit smoking.

We ask all employees, including part-time employees, to undergo annual stress checks. We aim to identify any mental-health concerns swiftly through analysis of individual groups of employees, in addition to encouraging eligible persons to receive in-person guidance from a physician based on the results of their stress checks.
