Health Management
IDEC Group Health Declaration
IDEC Group considers important objectives in management to be the achievement of life-work balance while giving every employee a cause to live for and a cause to work for and realization of safe and comfortable workplaces.
Therefore, based on the awareness that the "physical and mental health" of employees and their families is the foundation for all things, we declare our intention to advance health promotion activities and foster a culture of "Health first".

IDEC Healthcare Center
In recent years, the importance of disease prevention is increasing with the aging of employees. Investing in health is an important management issue that leads to improvement of productivity, increase of employee motivation, and ultimately improvement of corporate value. In addition, we believe that supporting employees to live a healthy and lively life even after retirement is our social responsibility based on the corporate philosophy of “management with respect for humanity”. Therefore, IDEC Healthcare Center (Hereinafter IHC) was established in April 2018.
At IHC, an industrial health physician works once a week and two full-time public health nurses are stationed. We are working to make IHC easy for everyone to use, such as providing mental health consultations for employees.
Periodic Health Checkup and Comprehensive Medical Examination
In periodic health checkups, we are expanding the examination items such as adding a tumor marker test for early detection of cancer and a fecal occult blood test for employees over 40 years of age from 2022. We also encourage our employees to have a comprehensive medical examination. For that, we introduced a subsidy system that allows them to have it without their own expense. An industrial health physician or a public health nurse provides health guidance to those with abnormal test results. We also work to prevent lifestyle-related diseases and its progression. An industrial health physician or a public health nurse provides guidance for employees who are at high risk of lifestyle-related diseases.
In addition, specific health guidance is aimed at 100% in cooperation with the Health Insurance Association.
We are working to support both treatment and work, giving consideration to employees who work with chronic diseases such as cancer and stroke based on information from medical institutions.
Mental Health Initiatives
Stress checks are conducted in all offices, including offices with less than 50 employees. Through health consultations and feedbacks of organizational analysis based on the results, the Human Resources & General Affairs Department and department heads work together to create a workplace where employees can work comfortably.
In addition, mental health trainings for managers are conducted to raise awareness of health management of their subordinates and prevent occurrence of mental health issues.
For those who are on administrative leave, we provide support with a public health nurse and cooperate with an industrial health physician and medical institutions according to each period during leave and after return to reduce anxiety and help them return to work smoothly.
Initiatives against Second-hand Smoke
In order to support efforts for quitting smoking, we conducted an in-house awareness survey, held quit-smoking seminars, distributed samples of quit-smoking aids, subsidized quit-smoking treatment costs, etc. Smoking is prohibited during working hours and especially in the head office premises. We continue making efforts to further reduce the smoking rate led by the Safety and Health Committee.
Promotion of employee safety and well-being
Since keeping employees and their family members physically and mentally healthy is vital to the IDEC Group, we adopted the IDEC Group Health Declaration and are promoting health initiatives. The first step for better well-being is to ensure the safety of employees. We are promoting efforts to eliminate and prevent the causes of injuries, diseases, and other dangers in the workplace.
In 2019, in order to promote employee health, a Well-being Center with a fitness gym and a Healthcare Center was constructed at the head office, where an industrial health physician and full-time public health nurses are working on health management. Furthermore, in FY2023, an in-house corporate clinic will open in the Well-being Center of the head office in keeping with our aim to ensure the mental and physical well-being of all employees.
Health Seminar
Various health seminars are held, including mental health, food education, and cardiovascular disease countermeasures. In addition to an in-house industrial health physician, a public health nurse, executive officers, and lecturers from the pharmaceutical and food industries give lectures to improve health literacy as viewed from the standpoint of familiar topics.
In addition, a fitness gym was introduced at the head office in FY2020, and we are promoting exercise habits of employees.
