Efforts regarding Health Management/Occupational

Based on our corporate philosophy, “Everything we do is for our customers,” we aim to be the No. 1 company in the industry in Japan and to become a competitive world-class company.
To this end, it is essential that each and every one of our employees is healthy in mind and body and that we are a team of professionals with integrity and high professional ethics.
We also believe that an energetic corporate culture based on a work environment that allows for smooth communication, job satisfaction, and the health of employees and their families is extremely important for the sustainable growth of a company and that the value of our existence can be enhanced by continuing to maintain and improve the health of our employees.
We will continue to implement various health promotion initiatives to encourage all employees to pursue health maintenance and improvement of their own volition.

The Company has organized the "Health Management Promotion Committee" and is implementing health management initiatives. The committee is chaired by the Senior Executive Officer Head of the Administration Headquarters. It is supervised by the Board of Directors under the Group Management Headquarters Meeting, and a system is in place for reporting the content of each meeting. Under the chairperson, the General Manager of the Personnel Department and the Personnel Team, industrial physicians, public health nurses, the Diversity Promotion Committee, and the Safety and Health Committee work together to set targets in consideration of annual health issues and implement each measure.

Initiatives for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases and for the early detection of diseases

To understand the prevalence of various risks related to obesity, high blood pressure, and hyperglycemia, which are lifestyle-related diseases, we will work to further improve the company’s welfare system for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases and for the early detection of cancer and other diseases.

＜Quantitative Targets＞

[Glucose metabolism] HbA1c　NGSP

Employees with a result of 10.0 or above

⇒100% attendance at hospital

*HbA1c　10.0％ or above (NGSP) represents the level at which restrictions become necessary to ensure stable employment due to the high risk of brain and heart disease and sudden death.

[Blood pressure]

Employees with a systolic blood pressure of 180 or above and/or diastolic blood pressure of 110 or above

⇒100% attendance at hospital

*Systolic blood pressure of 180 or above and/or diastolic blood pressure of 110 or above (Grade 3 hypertension) represents the level at which restrictions become necessary to ensure stable employment due to the high risk of brain and heart disease and sudden death.

Increase the proportion of employees receiving specific health guidance for the first time

10.5%　⇒　18% or above

*Specific health guidance is a form of health support provided to persons considered at high risk of lifestyle diseases based on the results of specific diagnosis and who are expected to benefit significantly from lifestyle improvements. At the initial consultation, a doctor, public health nurse, dietitian, or other health professional provides patients with support in lifestyle improvement based on factors such as each individual’s state of health and living environment.

To address our targets for health management, we will work with industrial physicians and public health nurses to enhance our systems to promote occupational health while also collaborating with health insurance organizations to encourage employees to improve their own health.

The Kaga Electronics Group considers it our vital responsibility to provide an environment where every employee can work safely, securely, and in good physical and mental health. We have established a system for occupational safety and health management based on strict compliance with laws and regulations, and are committed to creating a healthy and comfortable workplace while striving for continuous improvement.

Our Group’s Safety and Health Committee meets once a month under the oversight of the Director in charge of the Health Management Promotion System to discuss issues and improvement measures related to occupational safety and health across our entire organization. We also strive to maintain employee health and improve the workplace environment through measures such as regular health checkups, various special health examinations, consultations with occupational physicians, and stress checks.

● Prevention of long working hours
To prevent excessive overtime, we monitor the overtime work status of all employees each month and share this data with the head of each department. This enables us to establish mechanisms that lead to early corrective action and strengthen working hour management for each organization. We also established recommended paid leave days starting in FY2019 to encourage planned vacation time as an initiative to promote work-life balance. In addition, by introducing an hourly paid leave system and a remote working system to support diverse work styles, we are advancing the creation of an environment where each employee can work comfortably.

● Maintaining and improving the work environment
To prevent workplace accidents and create a safe workplace, we continue to conduct regular workplace inspections, implement stress checks, and identify and reduce occupational safety and health risks.
Additionally, we conduct engagement surveys to gauge employee perceptions of the workplace environment. Our FY2025 workplace environment Diffusion Index (DI) score was 65.3, indicating a favorable overall survey trend.

With the aim of maintaining and improving the health of employees as well as providing them with a better work-life balance, in addition to resort facilities in Japan and overseas and contract golf courses, the Kaga Electronics Group also owns company retreat centers in Hakone, Karuizawa, Atami, and Kyoto (Miyazu City) as well as two cabin cruiser yachts (Yokohama and Kyoto) as company-owned welfare facilities. These facilities are widely used, with an average utilization rate of 66.5%*. We are making efforts to create a comfortable working environment to help enrich the recreational environment for employees.
Moreover, in August 2023, we opened a training room for employees in the Kaga Electronics Head Office building that boasts the latest in AI-equipped machines that help ensure optimal training tailored to each employee’s physical characteristics through the use of electronic tags, and, in June 2024, we opened a similar training room in the Head Office Building Annex. We will continue to implement various health promotion initiatives so that all of our employees can voluntarily maintain and improve their health.
