DS Brand to Host Free Online Seminar on Mandatory Stress Checks

DS Brand, a company providing health management support tools, has announced a free online seminar titled "Preparation and Implementation Seminar for All Companies: Towards Mandatory Stress Checks". Set to take place on February 26, 2026, this event aims to assist business owners and personnel in understanding the implications of the newly legislated stress check system.

Background of the Seminar

In recent years, the significance of mental health measures in the workplace has grown substantially. In fact, it is projected that the number of recognized labor accidents due to mental health issues will surpass 1,000 cases in 2024, making it a pressing managerial issue.

In response to this urgent situation, a legislative revision that includes the compulsory implementation of stress checks for all businesses was passed by the National Diet in May 2025. It is anticipated that within three years, all companies will be required to conduct these checks. However, many small to medium enterprises (SMEs) express concerns such as, "We do not know where to begin," or "We lack experts on the subject." Therefore, DS Brand has developed this seminar based on their expertise in promoting health management within organizations.

Key Points of the Seminar

Understanding the Stress Check System

Participants will receive clear explanations concerning the objectives and rules of the stress check system. This includes a thorough overview of what stress checks entail and how businesses can implement them effectively.

Risks of Not Complying

The seminar will also address the risks associated with failing to adapt to this change. Complaints from employees or administrative sanctions due to non-compliance could lead to significant legal and financial repercussions for companies. Understanding these risks can help businesses take proactive measures to protect their interest.

Practical Steps to Compliance

The session will guide attendees through practical steps and procedures needed for compliance, including staff roles and responsibilities, preparation procedures, implementation processes, and post-implementation reporting. This step-by-step guide will make it easier for companies to adopt the stress check system seamlessly.

Leveraging Results for Workplace Improvement

Finally, participants will learn how to analyze the results of stress checks. This analysis is essential for creating a healthier work environment and enhancing overall employee satisfaction and productivity.
