Health Management
Strengthening Health Management and Addressing
Mental Health
Maxell group believes that employees' vibrant performance is essential for corporate growth and enhancing corporate value. Therefore, we focus on health management initiatives aimed at maintaining and improving employees' health.
Management structure
Under the slogan for Maxell Group Occupational Health and Safety Policy--"Protecting health and safety takes precedence over everything else"--Maxell Group promotes "Health Management" led by the Company-wide Health and Safety Committee, which oversees health and safety across the entire Group.
The Company-wide Health and Safety Committee is chaired by the Executive in charge of Health and Safety and consists of the President of the Labor Union and the chairpersons of the Health and Safety Committees from each business site. Furthermore, at each business site, the Head of the Business Site holds the top position and under the direction of the Chairperson of the Site Health and Safety Committee, the Site Health and Safety Secretariat promotes local health and safety activities tailored to the actual conditions of the workplace.
In practical terms, the Company-wide Health and Safety Secretariat, the Site Health and Safety Secretariats of each business site, the Health Management Office (occupational health staff), the Labor Union, and the Health Insurance Association maintain close collaboration. By unifying management, front-line operations, specialized staff, and the labor union, we are continuously advancing highly effective initiatives aimed at maintaining and improving the health of our employees.
Health Management Initiatives
After conducting regular health checkups, we are strengthening health management by implementing prevention programs for employees with or at risk of developing lifestyle-related diseases and making health checkups mandatory for employees seconded overseas.
As for mental health, we are evolving our preventive activities to prevent employees from falling into high stress through new initiatives, such as conducting stress checks in accordance with laws and regulations and conducting assessments that focus on employees' stress tolerance and providing instruction from instructors through seminars.
Health and Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations
In addition, through EAP (※1), we respond individually to various concerns employees have with the advice of specialized staff, such as by utilizing counseling services provided by external consultation services and introducing re-employment programs to support employees returning to work. Through these efforts, Maxell, Ltd., Maxell Frontier Co., Ltd., and Maxell Izumi Co., Ltd. have been recognized as the 2026 Outstanding Organizations of KENKO Investment for Health (large enterprize category).
