Six priority items for health management have been established: cancer countermeasures, lifestyle-related disease countermeasures, mental health measures, health literacy improvement, promotion of physical safety in the workplace, and promotion of psychological safety in the workplace. We have formulated medium- to long-term goals in line with our mid-term management plan TOP I 2030, and are developing activities to achieve them.
Health and Productivity Management Map
We have created a Health and Productivity Management Map that illustrates how various health management initiatives (health investments) and their indexes are linked to the goal of health and productivity management. Based on the results of each initiative, the PDCA cycle will be used to promote health and productivity management.
