In September 2022, the Nishitetsu Group established the “Nishitetsu Group Health Declaration” based on the belief that the health of our employees is of utmost importance for putting our corporate philosophy into practice.
Nishitetsu Group Health Declaration
In order for the Nishitetsu Group to build on the “safety and security” that is the foundation of our business and to achieve sustainable growth and development together with the local community, it is of utmost importance that our employees, with their diverse abilities and personalities, can work in a healthy and energetic manner both physically and mentally.
The Nishitetsu Group hereby declares that it will support all employees by taking a high interest in their health and working to maintain and promote good health, and will strive to create a workplace where employees can work in a pleasant environment and are rewarded for their efforts.
September 2022
Based on the Nishitetsu Group Health Declaration, we will promote Health and Productivity Management® by establishing Nishitetsu’s promotion system, specific initiatives, and indicators (KPIs) related to health management.
The President & CEO is responsible for overseeing health management, and the executive officer in charge of human resources is responsible for promoting it.
Specific policies and the like are deliberated on and decided by the Executive Committee, which is composed of senior management, and the secretariat checks and reports on progress as appropriate under the supervision of the person in charge of promotion. We also collaborate with external organizations to create an effective system.
1)Promoting retests after physical examinations
If a physical examination determines that a retest (comprehensive examination) is necessary, the cause of the problem must be identified and appropriate treatment provided.
We will promote taking retests so that diseases are detected and treated early, and the health of our employees is maintained and improved.
2) Improving mental health
Leaves of absence due to mental health issues tend to be prolonged and have a significant impact on an employee’s social life. Therefore, we will strive to help improve their mental health.
3)Improving lifestyle habits such as exercise, diet, and alcohol consumption
To review lifestyle habits and prevent the onset and severity of lifestyle-related diseases, exercise and good drinking and dietary habits are key, and we will work with employees to improve them.
4) Promoting quitting smoking
Smoking increases health risks such as cerebral and cardiovascular disease. We will work to reduce smoking rates and associated health risks so that we can provide safe and reliable services to our customers.
5) Taking measures against infectious diseases
The spread of infectious diseases in the workplace can damage the health of many employees and cause significant inconvenience to customers. We will take measures against infectious diseases, taking into account our social responsibilities as a company engaged in railroad and bus operations.
