Under the management philosophy, “Employee Well-being,” Taiyo Yuden sees employee health management as a management issue, and is committed to health management in order to create a foundation for safe and secure work, create an organization where employees are motivated, and contribute to productivity and creativity. Within this, to advance these activities both strategically and systematically, we have set health indicators (Focus5: Food, non-smoking, exercise, sleep, and stress) and established targets, and have been endeavoring to implement specific health measures to achieve these targets.
In FY2022, we prioritized Exercise and Sleep in the Focus5 indicators as key items and promoted efforts.
As, for Exercise measures, we carried out efforts to foster employees' motivation for daily exercise, such as distributing stretch videos produced in-house, holding stretching and yoga classes by external instructors, and visualizing the physical condition of employees using a wearable device app.
For Sleep measures, we conducted e-learning for desk workers to correctly understand sleep, and held seminars for shift workers and new employees on the topic of sleep disorders. For other measures, we implemented initiatives to quit smoking, enhanced employee canteens, and implemented health promotion measures health insurance union and labor union by (walking events, RIZAP seminars).
