Health Support by ICT

   To improve the quality of life of the employees, YUSHIN provides them with health checkups. Based on the results, YUSHIN gives health guidance to the ones who have a risk of lifestyle-related diseases. YUSHIN recommends them to have the re-examination if necessary to raise the consultation rate.

 

   The employees who is posted abroad or returned from overseas assignment are required to undergo periodic medical checkups once a year to manage their health so that they can work in a healthy manner.

 

   YUSHIN is also working to enhance health support in collaboration with the industrial physician using ICT system.

Health Seminars

   Seminars are conducted on the following four themes in order to improve health literacy:

 

1)Women's Specific Diseases, 2)Cancer Prevention, 3)Smoking Cessation, 4)Mental Health.

 

   "Promotion of Smoking Cessation" seminar was held by the industrial physician. The participants were briefed on the risks of cancer due to smoking, health risks such as cerebral and cardiovascular infarction, and the effects of smoking cessation aids. The seminars were practical and ended successfully.

 

Mental Health Care

   YUSHIN has set up Health Support Center to encourage employees to consult with public health nurse or industrial physician at any time if they are worried about something. In addition, YUSHIN  has set up a consultation desk operated by external resources as a welfare program, which enables employees to resolve their problems without disclosing their personal information.

Walking Event

   Every year, YUSHIN holds a walking event called “Walk, Talk and Work together!” with the aim of promoting employee health and improving communication among employees. In FY2023, there were 84 participants in 21 teams from Japan and overseas who compete for the average number of steps per day using a smartphone walking app.
