Employee health management
In light of the rising risk of lifestyle-related diseases and the increasing number of people experiencing mental health problems in modern societies, we recognize the importance of conducting Employee health management in order for each individual to realize their full potential.
We aim to enhance our human resources and achieve sustainable growth as a company through the creation of a workplace where employees can continue to work energetically and maintain good mental and physical health.
Sanyo promotes Employee health management with the head of the General Manager of Personnel & Administration HQ (concurrently serving as the head of the Health Insurance Society).
The Personnel & Administration HQ and the Health Insurance Union work together with labor unions, industrial physicians, public health nurses, and mental health counselors to maintain and promote employee health.
For regular employee health checkups (hereinafter referred to as "medical checkups"), we have added a white blood cell test, etc. to general statutory items, and for employees 35 years of age or older, we have added items for medical checkups for lifestyle-related diseases (HbA1c and fasting blood sugar tests, etc.).
Based on the results of these medical checkups, we will provide health guidance to each individual in cooperation with the health insurance association.
With regard to mental health care, in addition to the stress checks stipulated by law, we conduct organizational audits that are compared with company-wide average values and organizational trend values.
Based on the results, we will implement measures to realize a vibrant workplace environment, such as calling on employees who are highly stressed and preventing mental health problems through interviews with doctors at an early stage.
- Percentage of employees undergoing regular health checkups: 95% (FY2026)
- Stress check rate: 95% (FY2026)
