Mental Health Care
We incorporate line care training in our management training as a measure to promote mental health care at the workplace. This training focuses on the obligation to consider the safety and legal responsibility of managers from the perspective of workplace accidents, reaffirms methods for relieving stress, deepens understanding regarding the significance and method for doing so, and cultivates the communication ability essential for solving problems related to mental health.
We provide training regarding mental health care and stress management for young employees.

Health and Productivity Management
Kyokuyo established the Health Management Declaration in 2024 as the first step in its efforts toward health and productivity management. We will be conducting various efforts based on this declaration.
1. Health and Productivity Management Policy and Basic Approach
Health and Productivity Management Declaration
We believe that creating a working environment where each employee is comfortable and mentally and physically healthy, will help heighten work motivation and allow them to better demonstrate their abilities, ultimately leading to improved productivity and more efficient management.
We will promote health and productivity management based on our Corporate Philosophy of “human respect,” in order to create an environment where employees can devote themselves to their work in good health, good cheer, and good fun.
（１）We will actively support employees’ independent efforts to maintain and improve their own health.
（２）We will work towards early detection and prevention of diseases, and enhance our support system.
（３）We will work to create a comfortable working environment where each individual employee can fully demonstrate their abilities.
Purpose of Health and Productivity Management
Achieving Health and Productivity Management Declaration
- Employees are healthy both mentally and physically, and are able to demonstrate their abilities
- Improved employee productivity
- Improved corporate value
2. Establishment of Health and Productivity Management Operational Structure
The President will serve as the Chief Health Management Officer, with the Human Resources General Manager serving as Health Promotion Officer. The Human Resources Department will serve as Secretariat under the Human Resources General Manager, working with outside experts and the Sanitation Committee at each office in order to implement various measures.
３．Certified as KENKO Investment for Health Outstanding Organization 2025
Kyokuyo has been certified as a KENKO Investment for Health Outstanding Organization 2025 (Large Enterprise Category) under the "KENKO Investment for Health" certification program, run jointly by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi, as an outstanding company engaged in health and productivity management
４．Introduction of Initiatives
Health Managemen
（１）Improving eating habits
We conducted eating habit improvement seminars led by a registered dietician, based on the belief that the long-term health and peace of mind of employees form the foundation of corporate activities. Rather than limiting the seminar to specific individuals, it was offered to all employees, so they could reassess their dietary habits, and gain insights that would help them prevent lifestyle-related diseases and extend their healthy life expectancy.
The seminar proved to be a valuable opportunity for employees to reflect on their own health, with participants saying they wanted to apply what they learned in their eating habits in the future.
（２） Preventing spread of infectious diseases
We offer a subsidy for flu vaccines in order to support employee health and prevent the spread of infectious diseases
Flu outbreaks can pose not only personal health risks, but also impact the productivity of the organization as a whole. This subsidy program thus helps employees receive vaccinations with peace of mind, and supports stable business operations.
（３）Women's health issues
・Introduction of subsidy for bone density testing
Women typically experience a decline in bone density with age, which elevates their risk of osteoporosis. We have introduced a subsidy for bone density testing to enable female employees to assess their bone health at an early stage, and support preventive action.
・Introduction of wellness leave system
It is not uncommon for female employees to take time off for medical appointments or health management related to menstrual pain, menopause-related symptoms, fertility treatments, and related examinations. We created a wellness leave system separate from the standard paid leave, to ensure that employees dealing with these sensitive health concerns can rest or attend medical appointments with peace of mind.
（４）Improving implementation of specific health guidance
We work with clinics in the Tokyo area so that employees can receive specific health guidance immediately following their annual health checkups, to further improve employee health awareness and support the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases.
This allows many employees to receive health guidance in an efficient manner, encouraging them to reflect on their own health condition and work on their personal health management.
（５）Initiatives to reduce smoking rates
Given the health risks associated with smoking, we have enhanced the programs and support frameworks we offer to assist employees in quitting smoking.
・Smoking-cessation program (Free smoking-cessation aids and pharmacist-led seminars)
To help improve cessation rates, the company fully subsidizes smoking-cessation aids for employees who join the program. We also host pharmacist-led seminars that provide expert guidance on the mechanisms of quitting smoking, the health risks of smoking, and the effective use of cessation aids.
・Smoking-cessation support (Online informational leaflets)
To help employees take the first toward quitting smoking, we created an online leaflet, distributed to employees with a history of smoking, that summarizes the benefits of quitting, information about and schedules for smoking-cessation clinics, and the characteristics of different cessation aids.
Workplace environment
No smoking during work hours
Smoking is prohibited during work hours, both on and off company premises, to promote employee health and maintain a comfortable work environment.
