Mitsuuroko Group is working to ensure that 100% of employees receive health checkups and take post-checkup measures to prevent the severity of lifestyle-related diseases and support health promotion. In addition, as part of a collaboration with the health insurance association, the Group and association are working to distribute secondary examination diagnosis recommendation letters.

From April 1, 2020, the Group banned smoking at all Group companies during working hours. From October 1, 2021, we have implemented a total ban on smoking on our premises and eliminated smoking areas on the grounds. The Group will continue to take efforts to prevent passive smoking for employees, customers, and other related persons.
From October 1, 2021, we also designated the 22nd of every month as No Smoking Day to prevent smoking for a day, both during work hours and in private.
By stopping smoking for one day, smokers will hopefully reflect on their own smoking habits. Also, the Group aims to lower the smoking rate through seminars and support for anti-smoking outpatient visit expenses.

Seminars for female employees and managers of either gender are held on the themes of female health, life events, and careers. We support women’s health and woman’s participation and advancement through cervical cancer screenings for female employees during their regular health checkups.

In addition to internal consultation counters, the Group has established external consultation counters and established a system for mental health consultation by specialists through phone, e-mail, and interviews. Moreover, we have conducted mental health line care training for managers as we promote mental health care for employees.

We have created an environment through new work styles and promoted telecommuting that utilized ICT and prioritized safety and health of all stakeholders. Focusing on the mental and physical care during telecommuting, we have created a human resource and environmental structure for self-care management. While adapting to new value, we will promote health from multiple angles by enhancing health literacy.

• Provision of health-conscious meals
  At certain business sites of the Group, we provide “mini employee meals” that are light and health-conscious to support the health of employees through “food.” The Group plans to expand the business sites where “mini employee meals” are introduced.
• Adult physical fitness test
  The Group held athletic seminars led by physical therapists. This was not only an opportunity to learn about self-care, including occupational care and mindfulness, but also measure “strength,” “flexibility,” and “balance” as participants looked back at their own health.
  In FY2022, we also participated in a walking event using a health care app and engaged in a month-long walking initiative. Participants who walked more than 200,000 steps in a month (approximately 6,500 steps per day) received a commemorative participation gift.
• Adult voluntary research (food contest)
  Employees cooked food based on the Mitsuuroko “triangle” logo for a company contest. Through this contest, employees could think about food, the fun of cooking, and nutrition. It aimed to invigorate communication between employees and families. The theme in FY2021 was onigiri (rice balls), and the theme in FY2022 was sandwiches.
• Radio calisthenics / hand clap
  Since FY2021, these have each been held online once a week, primarily for female employees. In addressing lack of exercise experienced with increased telecommuting, this also promotes communication through events and exchange.
• Opening of the Health-focused Management Room
  Health-focused Management Room has been opened since FY2021 on the portal site, containing information on health and details of the results of various events. Radio calisthenics videos are also posted on the website, allowing individuals to engage in radio calisthenics at their own leisure.
