The Changing Landscape of Employee Health Management in Japan

As the population of Japan continues to decline due to an aging demographic, the challenge of maintaining a healthy and engaged workforce has become increasingly pressing for businesses. In response to this evolving situation, NEWONE Co., Ltd. has been actively promoting a workplace culture that champions employee well-being.

In light of these developments, NEWONE is set to host the 10th edition of NEWONE TALK on April 22, 2026, at 11:00 AM. This session, titled "Health Management in the Era of Human Capital - How Much Should HR be Involved in Employee Health?" aims to address the pressing issues surrounding employee health management and the evolving roles of Human Resources in this domain.

One of the notable guests for this insightful online session will be Daisuke Koike, the CEO of Healthcare Technologies Co., Ltd. With his experience in leveraging health data and understanding the shifting responsibilities of companies in the realm of health, he will provide a multi-faceted exploration of health management. The discussion will delve into how employee health should be strategically managed as a critical asset contributing to corporate value.

Background and Significance

Historically, health management within companies has been framed within the context of benefits and healthcare cost optimization. However, as more organizations begin to see the value of human capital management, it has become evident that employee health should not only be viewed through a lens of cost savings but rather as a component that can actively drive corporate success. This transition means companies must navigate sensitive health information while also finding appropriate ways to intervene to promote employee wellness.

This seminar seeks to examine the question: "To what extent should HR engage in the health management of employees?" From this foundational inquiry, participants will explore the essential elements of modern health management practices.

Who Should Attend?

This session is particularly beneficial for:

• - HR professionals looking to clarify their role in employee health
• - Those interested in enhancing corporate value through human capital management perspectives on health
• - Individuals keen on the latest trends in health tech and case studies on data utilization
• - People who are contemplating creating an environment where employees can continue to work productively
• - Organizations aiming to adopt more strategic health management initiatives
• - Anyone interested in improving the financial health of health insurance associations.
