We have also issued the Non Smoking Declaration*1. Furthermore, in the pandemic that has been continuing since last year, we took the survey on the impact on the mind and body of employees and hold an online stretch seminar for those who complain of fatigue from working from home in addition to prevent infection such as utilizing remote work. As a result of these initiatives, we received the certification of “Health and Productivity Management Organization 2021 Large enterprise category (White 500)” for the first time from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry *2last year.

Our Future Initiatives

In the future, NTN will strengthen the above-mentioned efforts at business site in Japan and raise health awareness by distributing information on health promotion during the period before the health examinations to some of young employees under the age of 40 who have high health risks. Furthermore, we will further strengthen our mental health care system by making all managers participate in line care*3 training that we have been conducting so far.

At overseas, in addition to the health measures implemented at each business site we will introduce measures by cooperating the person in charge at each base such as making rules to reduce smoking rates and introducing exercises before work in accordance with local laws and culture. In addition, we hold a “Safety and Health Global Conference” to exchange information on health management with the person in charge at overseas bases, share measures globally and work on health promotion throughout the NTN Group.

One of the cares established by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to promote mental health in the workplace. In the training, managers learn how to respond to consultations in the workplace and how to improve the workplace environment.
