Regular health check

For employees enrolled in social insurance, we conduct regular health checkups every year not only for the early detection and treatment of illness, but also to understand their own health condition and improve any problems. We inform employees of the importance of health checkups through internal notices and other means, and strive to encourage them to take the checkups. (Health checkup attendance rate for fiscal 2024: 98.5%)
After checking the medical examination status, the Human Resources Department will notify those at high risk of lifestyle-related diseases and other illnesses based on the data from the medical examination institution. The target person will then report the status of re-examinations and other measures to the public health nurse and receive insurance guidance. (FY2024 detailed examination attendance rate: 74.2%)
We have also introduced a health management system that allows employees to manage their own health, including the ability to track health checkup results over time and access public health nurses via email, helping employees manage and maintain their health on a daily basis.
In addition, we provide subsidies for cancer screenings (colon cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer) and eye fundus examinations, as well as comprehensive medical checkups, for employees aged 35 and over. Furthermore, we also provide subsidies for comprehensive medical checkups for dependent spouses (up to a maximum of 20,000 yen per person per year).

Diet improvement

A nutrition guidance and consultation desk has been set up by external businesses and dietitians.

Smoking measures

To support employees who are trying to quit smoking, we have set up a smoking cessation consultation desk where they can easily get advice on smoking cessation treatment, precautions to prevent relapse, information on medical institutions, etc. Furthermore, we provide assistance with treatment costs for employees who have quit smoking through smoking cessation treatment covered by insurance.
We have also implemented measures to prevent passive smoking by setting smoking restrictions in the workplace. We continue to raise awareness through posters and in-house newsletters, and are working to reduce the smoking rate and ban smoking throughout the company during working hours.

Providing exercise opportunities

EDION Group Welfare Association holds sports events in certain areas every year. In addition to helping employees get more exercise, sports and recreational activities also help to stimulate communication between employees, which in turn invigorates the workplace. We also provide recreational assistance for workplace events.

Maintain and promote women's health

We are working to create an environment that maintains and improves the health of female employees so that women can work for a long time with peace of mind. We have also established various systems to support women's health issues, and provide subsidies for cancer screenings specific to women. (Number of people who underwent cervical cancer screening in fiscal 2024: 602)
Furthermore, to improve literacy regarding women's life events and health, we provide annual employee training sessions to explain topics related to childbirth and childcare, and we also post training videos on our company intranet about systems related to pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, creating an environment where employees can easily learn about our company and public systems.
In September 2024, a video training session on "Women's Health" was held (5,387 participants).
