For a seventh consecutive year, NYK has been recognized in the large enterprise category of the Certified Health and Productivity Management Organization Recognition Program, a cooperative initiative by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and Nippon Kenko Kaigi.*
The program certifies corporations that practice particularly excellent health management. The goal is to publicize companies that engage in health management so that corporations that think about employee health management from a managerial perspective and engage in it strategically will receive recognition from society.
Recognizing that employee health is the foundation for its business activities and one of its highest priorities, NYK has been conducting a health-promotion project in collaboration with the NYK Health Insurance Society, and exchanges information and shares issues with the NYK Health Insurance Society regularly.
Specifically, NYK offers the following so that its employees can work with peace of mind and energy:
1.Immunizations, in addition to guidance by specialist doctors on the prevention of serious lifestyle-related diseases and quitting smoking-at the in-house clinic
2.Specialized medical examinations at partner medical institutions
3.Mental health initiatives
4.Health-conscious menus at the employee cafeteria
5.Refreshment spaces
NYK also holds an annual running and walking event** to promote health and contribute to society.
The company will continue to examine effective methods to improve employee well-being.
