Promoting health management

Health management declaration

“We help many more people smile, Hoping for the happiness of each employee, Hoping for the happiness of each customer, and Hoping for the happiness of everybody.”

The origin of this management philosophy is to realize the happiness of our employees.
In other words, this is the idea that when employees can work in a healthy, motivating, and lively manner, they can feel happiness and can also make customers in our local communities happy.
Based on this idea, we are promoting health management. As we are about to enter the era of 100-year life, working to help our employees and all other people maintain and promote health is the mission of the SUGI Pharmacy Group, which prides itself on being a family pharmacy in local communities.
I myself tend to lead an irregular life. Therefore, I pay attention to the three meals and their menus every day and try to make time for weight training and walking at least once a week. Health invites a smile. For this reason, it is essential to work to create a company whose employees are full of smiles.
Based on the understanding above, we declare that we will review the health management promotion structure from the ground up and promote the creation of a healthy work environment in which employees strive to maintain and promote health on their own initiative and their smiles invite the smiles of people in local communities.

Health management promotion structure

In order to further promote health management, we have adopted a structure that can make more agile and flexible responses by appointing the President as the Chief Health Management Officer and having the president of each subsidiary assume execution responsibility for promotion.

Health Management Strategy Map

Based on the belief that achieving employee well-being—where employees can work in good health, feel motivated, and be fully engaged—leads to a sense of happiness, we have developed a “Health Management Strategy Map” to guide our health management initiatives and relevant indicators.
We believe that we can further enhance employees' job satisfaction and motivation by promoting a state of physical and mental health across the organization.

Health management initiatives

We are implementing the following initiatives for the maintenance and promotion of employee health:

  • Regular seminars on women’s health for both internal and external audiences
  • Specified health guidance provided by registered dietitians of SUGI Pharmacy
  • Health questionnaire
  • Stress checks (annual)
  • Establishment of the Anything Consultation Call Service for All Workplace Concerns to promote the early detection and prevention of issues related to mental and physical health and the reduction of employee turnover
  • Encouraging employees to take leave for four consecutive days (twice a year)
  • Expense assistance for cancer screening and gynecology checkup
