Obayashi Group regards health management as a central component of its talent management strategy. In December 2022, we established a health management policy and a dedicated committee to build a structured approach for active promotion. Specific health management challenges have been identified, along with key goals and metrics to address them effectively.Promoting health and productivity management
In February 2023, we implemented a welfare platform named “carefull” by Nanoni, designed for all employees and their families to address health challenges across different life stages. This platform offers access to health-related webinars essential for planning career and life events, an anonymous support community, and employee discount benefits on various healthcare services.
Major Initiatives
Supporting the challenges
Supported Programs
-
●Menstrual cycle
This program was for all employees. Through a simple online assessment, menstrual symptoms were categorized into six types, and self-care methods tailored to each type were provided in a lecture format. The aim was to promote a better understanding of menstruation and encourage employees to incorporate self-care practices that suit them into their daily lives without enduring discomfort, thereby promoting better management of their physical and mental health.

● Nursing care program
This program targeted all employees. Through simple questions, employees assessed their caregiving risk, received information on appropriate preparations and public support systems tailored to their individual circumstances, and were guided to an online consultation service with experts, thereby supporting them in alleviating anxieties about balancing work and caregiving.
