Health and Productivity Management

Terumo recognizes that healthy associates are crucial to sustainable growth. As a company that contributes to healthcare, we believe it is important to protect the health of our own associates. With Terumo’s management having committed their support to Kenko Keiei^*(health and productivity management), the company undertakes various initiatives to encourage keen health awareness among individual associates.

*“Kenko Keiei”, the Japanese term for “health and productivity management”, is a registered trademark of the Workshop for the Management of Health on Company and Employee, a nonprofit organization. Terumo endorses its principal aims as a supporting member of this organization.

The Kenko Keiei System

To promote “Kenko Keiei,” we have formed a team, with members drawn from across Terumo Group companies in Japan, to work with the Terumo Health Insurance Society to undertake “collabo-health”^* initiatives. In addition, led by a supervising corporate physician, corporate physicians, nurses, public health nurses, and other corporate health staff deployed to individual business locations share information on “Kenko Keiei” directions for Group companies in Japan, and on common initiatives and best practices.

Initiatives undertaken through collaboration between company management and the Terumo Health Insurance Society.

Basic Approach and Major Initiatives

At Terumo, we will analyze past diagnostic results and medical expenses data to set policies and formulate annual action plans to be implemented at all Group companies in Japan. Initiatives based on policies and plans are advanced, and their results are quantitatively and qualitatively verified on an annual basis. In addition, internal Kenko Keiei surveys are conducted to incorporate associate input and needs into a Kenko Keiei PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle.

For example, the Company, its health insurance society, and industrial health staff collaborate to provide associates with health checkup opportunities, hold seminars and health-oriented events, and offer financial assistance to promote prevention, early detection, and early treatment. In addition, health guidance is provided to individual associates and their families.

Global Health Promotion Activities

The Terumo Group aims to empower all associates in their work and have them share the same values through working at the Group. We are advancing global wellness programs with this goal. By learning from initiatives implemented worldwide and making progress together, we are fostering a sense of solidarity among Group associates. In 2020, we prepared a shared global common tagline, “Your Health, Your Happiness, Our Priority,” and logo for internal use, and designated five shared themes which we recognize as being particularly important. This tagline encapsulates the shared desire of associates and the entire Terumo Group to protect the health of all associates.
