Health management initiatives

The Group has established the ID&E Group Health Declaration and declares its commitment to promoting health management.

Health management promotion system

• Under the umbrella of the Risk Management Council, chaired by the President of ID&E Holdings, the Safety, Health and Environment Council (chaired by the Executive Officer in charge of health management) has been established to discuss and promote various measures related to health management and workplace environment improvement.
  • The safety and health committee, in which union-recommended staff participate as committee members, discusses and shares information on health management initiatives and occupational health and safety.

The Health Management Office is under the Safety and Health Management Department of HD.

  In order to provide an environment where staff are physically and mentally healthy, respect diversity, and can maximize their abilities, we are working to prevent the seriousness of illnesses and to address mental health issues.

  • Liaison Meeting is held monthly in cooperation with the Nippon Koei Health Insurance Association (hereinafter referred to as ‘NK Health Insurance’) as a forum for sharing information and considering health measures among NK Health Insurance, Health & Safety Management Dept., Health Management staff, and Personnel Dept. The meeting monitors various measurements and make evaluation and improvements.
