Health and Productivity Management
- Employee well-being
Basic Approach
Health is the foundation for each employee to shine
At Chugai, we believe that a satisfying and rewarding work environment where all employees can do their jobs in good physical and mental health is the foundation for growth. We are focusing on health and productivity management to contribute to the health of individuals and the health of the organization at the same time. Being a life sciences company, we frequently handle materials that significantly affect the human body, and therefore place high priority on ensuring the safety of our employees. Furthermore, based on the recognition that safety and health and environmental conservation are closely related, we have established and are operating an EHS (environment, safety, and health) management system that integrates these two. To promote integrated EHS, we have established an Environmental Health and Safety Policy and are promoting company-wide efforts to protect the safety and health of our employees while at the same time taking environmental conservation into consideration.
Initiatives
Our goal is to create an environment where everyone can continue to work in a fulfilling manner
- By proactively encouraging employees to maintain and improve their health and working to better the work environment, we aim to create an environment in which each employee can take the initiative in maintaining and improving their health and where everyone can continue to work with a sense of fulfillment.
- We have defined six priority items for health and productivity management: 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.
- The Chugai Group companies, labor unions, and the Chugai Health Insurance Society work together to promote health and productivity management initiatives, with the aim of ensuring that everyone can continue to work in a fulfilling manner.
Priority Items and Goals
Toward the Realization of Health Management
For the six priority areas, we have set mid- to long-term goals in line with our mid-term management plan TOP I 2030. By achieving these goals, we will realize health management.
Cancer
With the goal of early stage detection and treatment, and supporting the balance of cancer and work, we promote participation targets of 90% or more for cancer screening and 95% or more for retesting.
Lifestyle-related diseases
We promote measures for high-risk individuals, prevent the deterioration of those at risk, and aim to achieve a normal group of 70% or more and a smoking rate of 0%.
Mental health
We monitor the rate of employees with high stress levels or on long-term leave due to the workplace environment, and work toward the goals of prevention, early detection, and support for stable return to work.
Health literacy
With the aim of raising awareness of health and encouraging behavioral change, we promote various initiatives as a company for the benefit of our employees.
Physical safety in the workplace
We are actively working to ensure safety, prevent workplace accidents, maintain and promote health, and create a comfortable working environment. We have also established an environment and safety management system to effectively promote EHS activities.
Psychological safety in the workplace
We aim to increase the number of sound organizations and foster a rewarding corporate culture, and we continuously monitor indicators such as work engagement.
Focus on ensuring employee safety, maintaining and promoting employee health, and creating a comfortable work environment
Based on the policy that “ensuring the safety of employees
is the first priority in all business operations,” we are
actively working to ensure safety, prevent workplace
accidents, maintain and promote health, and create a
comfortable working environment.
We have also introduced an integrated management system
for environmental conservation and occupational health and
safety to effectively promote EHS (environment, health,
hygiene, and safety) activities.
Education and Training
EHS risk assessment is an activity to identify potential hazards or risks in the workplace from an environmental, health, and safety perspective, and to formulate and implement measures to control and reduce them. We strive to raise awareness of the significance of EHS risk assessment and to maintain and improve our assessment techniques.
