Thinca's Commitment to Employee Well-Being

Thinca Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently made headlines by becoming the first company in its category to receive the "Health Management Excellent Corporation 2026" certification from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Japan Health Conference. This certification is part of a program that recognizes organizations implementing effective health management practices among employees, demonstrating Thinca's commitment to its workforce's wellness and productivity.

Background to Health Management Efforts

Operating under the philosophy of "Making the World More Interesting with IT," Thinca offers its AI communication integration platform, KAIKURA. The company believes that a thriving work environment and strong employee health is essential for delivering top-notch performance and social value. As it prepares for its listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2024, investing in human capital has become one of Thinca's top priorities. Following the recent attainment of the Health Enterprise Declaration Silver Certification from the Tokyo Health Insurance Association, Thinca has accelerated various health initiatives that led to this certification.

Key Health Initiatives

To secure the certification, Thinca implemented a range of innovative measures aimed at making health management relatable and enjoyable for every employee:

1. Participation in the "2nd Walk Festival"
Thinca participated in the 2nd Walk Festival organized by SUNTORY+, wherein teams competed for the highest average step count over two weeks. This initiative not only fostered healthy competition but also promoted inter-departmental communication, creating a vibrant workplace culture.

2. Conducting the "Veggie Check"
In collaboration with Nippon Life Insurance, the Veggie Check program was introduced, allowing employees to assess their vegetable intake easily. This initiative offers employees tangible insights into their eating habits, encouraging them to reflect on and enhance their daily nutrition.

3. Hosting the Internal Health Festival
Facilitated by Nippon Life, teams of five from various departments rotated among various health-check booths, including grip-strength tests and vascular age assessments. This combination of fun competition and health awareness deepened employees' understanding of health.

4. Leadership by Example from CEO Ejiri
CEO Takahiro Ejiri has taken to promoting health by incorporating morning jogging into his routine and even training for marathons. By visibly committing to a healthy lifestyle, he aims to instill a company-wide culture of wellness.

Insight from Health Promotion Leaders

A representative of the health promotion team commented, "The initial certification reflects the enthusiasm of employees who actively participated in the events and recognized health as a personal priority. Particularly during the 'Walk Festival,' we observed interactions among employees that previously lacked common ground, exceeding our expectations. Moving forward, we’ll continue building an environment that encourages health beyond the existing framework of health management."

Future Outlook

Thinca views this certification as a stepping stone rather than an endpoint. It serves as a catalyst for fostering a workplace where employees engage with their health proactively and sustain a culture that promotes wellness. Plans are underway to instill healthy habits among new employees, ensuring that these initiatives evolve and flourish as enduring aspects of Thinca’s corporate culture rather than just sporadic events.
