KDDI Group Declaration of Health-Focused Management and Promotion Framework
To promote employee health, the foundation of health management, we work closely with the KDDI Health Insurance Union and the KDDI Workers Union to improve the physical and mental health of our employees.
The Goals of Health-Focused Management
KDDI continues to be a dynamic company where employees can work in good health and with vitality. We set promotion points that serve as health indicators and plans and implements measures to achieve the targets.
Analysis of employee health awareness
By conducting periodic surveys of our employees' awareness of their health, KDDI can consider measures that will not only improve the health issues that employees are aware of but will also improve lifestyle habits that are difficult for them to recognize on their own.
Health-Focused Management Strategy
FY2021 Concrete Initiatives
[1] Reduction of Mental Illness among Employees
■ Interviews with All Employees
In-house counselors conduct interviews to check on their health, jobs, work environment, human relationships, etc.
After the interview, if signs of mental illness or long working hours are observed, the company responds in cooperation with medical staff and organizational leaders. In addition, we provide feedback of employees' voices to the organization and relevant departments and discuss solutions at the "Work Style Reform Promotion Committee". Surveys of interviewees were also conducted to improve the knowledge and skills of in-house counselors.
■ In-house Counselor System
Starting in fiscal 2019, 41 in-house counselors conduct 100% of the 2 x 30 minute/person interviews twice a year (1st and 2nd half of the year) with approximately 13,500 employees to identify employees who show early signs of mental instability and eliminate long working hours.
After early detection, follow up in cooperation with industrial doctors and public health nurses.
■ Education to Improve Work Environment
■ Conduct Stress Checks
- Employees surveyed in FY2021: 88.3%
- Feedback of group analysis reports from in-house counselors to all headquarters
- Targeting zero departments with comprehensive health risks exceeding 120 and submitting action plans for improvement.
[2] Health Guidance (Before health checkups/After health checkups/Specific health guidance)
Based on regular health exams, KDDI provides health guidance to over 1,000 employees annually who have been found to have lifestyle-related diseases. As a result, the following year's health exams showed improvement in numerical values.
