The Group provides regular health examinations (with statutory examination items) at least once each year. In addition, major Group companies provide their employees aged 35 years or older with screenings for lifestyle-related diseases (total cholesterol, uric acid, fundoscopy, tumor markers, breast and cervical cancer screening, screening for VDT syndrome, and others) together with the health insurance union. Based on the results of the examinations, detailed follow-ups are conducted for the early detection and treatment of health problems by working in collaboration with an industrial physician.
The Group established the Oji Group Health Consultation Office, where doctors and counselors are available to give advice, either by telephone or online, on various health problems of employees and their families, including mental health problems caused by worksite human relations and so on.
The Group also established a nationwide system that enables employees to receive face-to-face counselling services from specialized counselors by making prior appointments. The Group provides employees who have used this service with a wide variety of support based on the particulars of their issues.
In accordance with the law, The Oji Group ensures that employee stress check tests are conducted once annually. Employees with high stress levels are recommended to receive face-to-face guidance from doctors individually by an external service provider to which we outsource the clerical work for implementing the stress checks.
With regards to the results of the stress checks, the Group holds meetings, including reporting seminars, for responsible personnel from Group companies and divisions as well as providers of clerical work related to the implementation of the stress checks, where we provide feedback on organizational analysis and encourage them to improve their worksite environments.
The Group recommends that employees who are to be dispatched to countries with a high risk of infectious diseases and their accompanying family members receive vaccinations that are recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (hepatitis A and B, tetanus, rabies, Japanese encephalitis, polio, yellow fever, measles/rubella, and typhoid) depending on the destination, thereby preventing infection after their dispatch.
We actively provide information to create an environment in which employees can work with peace of mind by distributing the "Handbook for Balancing Work and Medical Treatment" and holding seminars to improve knowledge of mental health issues.
We established the Oji Group Health Declaration in October 2020. We are working on ensuring the good health of employees under the leadership of our Chief Health Officer (Group CEO).
Our activities for health and productivity management are promoted through cooperation between companies, health insurance unions and labor unions of the Oji Group, and the industrial physicians of each business establishment.
