Kappa Create Implements Smart One Health
Kappa Create Co., Ltd., a member of the Colowide Group based in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, has recently announced the implementation of "Smart One Health for Business," a remote corporate health clinic provided by Integrity Healthcare. This initiative is part of their efforts to promote health management within the organization.
The company's motto, "The joy of our customers is our joy," emphasizes the importance of prioritizing employee and family health. Kappa Create is committed to creating an environment that enables all employees to thrive over the long term, focusing on the prevention of ailments including mental health issues.
Through its longstanding commitment to 100% health screenings and mental healthcare initiatives, Kappa Create recognizes that "presenteeism" (a state in which employees are physically present but less productive due to health issues) and "absenteeism" (absences from work due to health problems) remain critical challenges for the organization. They estimate that a single employee on long-term leave could result in an opportunity cost of up to 20 million yen. It has become urgent to intervene early for employees who have received recommendations for further examinations or treatment but have not yet accessed medical care due to their busy schedules.
To combat these challenges, Kappa Create concluded that the online connection to necessary medical services based on health screening results provided by Smart One Health aligns with their vision of achieving a healthy workplace. By adopting this service, they aim to establish a system that allows employees to receive medical care from anywhere, thus facilitating early intervention for health issues. This approach seeks to reduce the opportunity losses associated with absenteeism and presenteeism and ultimately enhance the performance of each employee.
Moreover, this initiative aims to create a work environment where everyone can confidently participate and thrive over an extended period. By supporting employee health, Kappa Create strengthens its appeal as an employer, enhancing its talent acquisition and retention strategies, which will in turn solidify the foundation for sustainable growth.
