Structure
In promoting health and productivity management, we have established the “Health and Productivity Management Promotion Committee” chaired by the President or Responsible for the Human Resources Department. The Committee reviews information on the issues faced at each plant and evaluates progress on their resolution while discussing the promotion of health and productivity management. In addition, the Committee also seeks to spread awareness and implement measures formulated through these discussions while ensuring their intentions permeate throughout the Company. The Committee furthermore aims to establish more effective measures for health and productivity maintenance and improvement by cooperating with the relevant health insurance associations, industrial physicians, and labor unions which participate as observers of the Committee. Once per year, the Committee reports on the status and results of these initiatives to the Management Committee and the Board of Directors while linking their efforts to activities that utilize the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle.
