Health-Focused Management

In-house counselors conduct interviews with all employees to listen to their concerns regarding health conditions, work, workplace environment, human relationships, and other matters. These interviews are conducted twice a year (30 minutes per person) in the first and second halves of the fiscal year, achieving a 100% implementation rate in both periods.
In addition, to ensure appropriate attendance management, we confirm employees' attendance records, accurately track working hours, and prevent unpaid overtime (by thoroughly paying overtime allowances). Following the interviews, if signs of mental health issues or prolonged working hours are identified, we collaborate with medical professionals and organizational leaders to address them. We also provide feedback on employee voices to relevant organizations and departments, discussing solutions at the Work Style Reform Promotion Committee. Furthermore, to enhance the knowledge and skills of in-house counselors, we conduct questionnaires for interviewees.

The in-house counselors who conduct interviews with all employees are experienced personnel with extensive knowledge and expertise, such as former line managers or certified professionals^*6.
By leveraging the skills and human capabilities cultivated through their careers, they contribute to employee happiness and health. At the same time, they provide comprehensive support for autonomous and highly productive work through counseling. This system also serves as an opportunity for seasoned veteran employees to play active roles.

We conducted seminars such as "Considering Breast Cancer Risks by Generation" and "Balancing Fertility Treatment/Infertility Treatment with Work," as well as the "Life Design Workshop for Working Women" to deepen awareness of women-specific health issues.

We regularly hold team-based walking events, with the number of participating teams steadily increasing. It has been confirmed that app users and event participants contribute to the rise in employees who exercise "at least 30 minutes twice a week." Health points are also awarded through the app.

KDDI, in collaboration with the KDDI Labor Union, holds the in-house sports festival "KDDI Sports Festival." This event, ongoing since FY2013, aims to promote exercise, revitalize organizations, and foster a sense of unity among KDDI Group employees and their families through interaction and deeper understanding of the company.
The milestone 10th event in FY2024 was held in person at Tokyo Big Sight for the first time as the main venue, complemented by pre-competition caravans at 10 regional branches nationwide and YouTube live streaming, attracting approximately 2,300 participants and 2,000 online views.
On the day, teams united in competitions including giant ball relay, dancing ball toss, costume race, three-line tug-of-war, long-rope jumping, treadmill relay, muscle championship, video contest, and a company-wide quick-response quiz. We also held an all-employee "Color Team Walking Challenge" using the same health app as the walking events, contributing to both health enhancement and organizational unity.

We held hybrid online & offline events that employees can easily join during lunchtime in a short time, conducting a total of six sessions across the main venue, nationwide public viewing locations, and online.
