Initiatives for Health and Productivity Management

Insource Group will improve the vitality and productivity of its employees by creating an environment in which they can work comfortably. We have also announced our Health and Productivity Management Declaration with the goal of creating a healthy and bright society.

The Director and Managing Executive Officer chairs this committee. In addition, the Health Promotion Officer belonging to the Group Human Resources Department will take the lead in establishing a system in cooperation with the Safety and Health Committee and an industrial physician to implement and verify the effectiveness of measures.

In addition, important management matters are reported at meetings of the Board of Directors and the Management Committee.

Based on the analysis of the results for FY21, we have identified "lifestyle-related diseases (exercise habits and smoking prevention)," "Healthy mentally," and "improvement of labor productivity" as priority issues. We will strive to maintain and improve the physical and mental health of each and every employee by setting numerical targets for each of our health issues and implementing initiatives for each of them. Each numerical target is calculated based on health checkup figures and employee surveys.

（１）Excercise habits

①Radio Taiso (exercise) for all employees

All employees participate in radio Taiso (exercise). This daily exercise program helps to relieve the lack of daily exercise and to stimulate communication among employees on the floor.

Comments from Participants

• Physical exercise in the morning allows you to work with a clear head and body.

②"Sanpo-Kai (Walking Club) (Let's walk in Higashi Park Club)" (on September 25, 2023)

Number of participants: 17 (participation rate: 25%)
Employees at Kyusyu branch held a walking club in the park (about 700m) near the branch for the first time.

Comments from Participants

• I felt that I was able to interact with members of various departments through walking, and that it would become easier to communicate during work in the future.
• I am constantly working at my desk, so the physical activity was a great way to refresh myself.
• I don't usually have a chance to talk with people from other departments, so this was a good opportunity to get to know each other.
• It was a very nice change of pace just to walk a little while enjoying the scenery of the neighborhood. I would like to be more conscious of physical exercise during breaks from now on.

③Bouncy Balls are introduced

Bouncy balls are distributed to those who wish to use in each office

Comments from Users

• It is effective in strengthening the core because one must sit with the pelvis erect and the back straight or one will fall. Since the pelvis is erected, the abdominal area must also be strengthened and the waist area can be strengthened.

No smoking during working hours

In October 2023, we launched a program to encourage employees and their families to ban smoking inside and outside the company during their working hours in order to protect employees and their families from health hazards caused by tobacco.

Examples of employee initiatives are collected and introduced at morning assemblies in which all employees participate. In the future, we will share information on dietary habits.
