Premedica Achieves Recognition for Health Management Excellence

In a noteworthy development, Premedica Inc., a company focused on preventive healthcare based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has announced that it has recently received two significant certifications related to health management. These include the 'Health Management Excellence 2026' certification from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Tokyo Health Initiative, which awarded Premedica the 'Gold Certification' for outstanding contributions to health management.

This achievement not only recognizes Premedica as a leader in the preventive healthcare sector, but also serves as a catalyst for the company to enhance the way it communicates its health management philosophy and specific initiatives to employees and stakeholders. The company has launched a revamped health management webpage to achieve this goal, emphasizing the importance of creating an environment where every employee can thrive both physically and mentally.

Premedica's commitment is encapsulated in its motto: 'Creating a workplace where all employees can work creatively and healthily.' The company is dedicated to the continuous promotion of health management strategies that alleviate presenteeism, aiming to improve the overall well-being of its workforce.

Introduction of the Health Management Strategy Map

As part of the recent website update, Premedica has also introduced its 'Health Management Strategy Map.' This map outlines the company’s approach to health management while detailing specific initiatives and programs designed to promote employee health. The Strategy Map reflects Premedica's belief that, as a company expanding preventive healthcare solutions in society, it should first prioritize the well-being of its employees.

Key Initiatives Included:

• - Annual health checkups and health guidance
• - Comprehensive employee benefits programs to maintain health, including subsidized option tests during health checkups (within limits)
• - Awarding health management points to encourage healthy behaviors
• - Unique health support programs utilizing company services
• - Well-being support initiatives, including external counseling services
• - Adaptable work styles tailored to individual lifestyles, such as flexible working hours and promotion of parental leave
• - Health awareness activities in the workplace showcasing real implementations

These initiatives convey Premedica’s devotion to fostering a healthy work environment. A recent internal seminar on healthy eating habits illustrates the company's proactive approach to enhancing employees' lifestyles.

A Message from the Health Management Project Leaders

Reflecting on this achievement, a representative from the Health Management Project stated, "We view this certification as just the beginning of our journey. We are committed to creating an environment where every employee can achieve optimal health and maximize their potential. Through the practical application of health management practices within our organization, we aim to collect valuable data and insights regarding presenteeism and employee health improvement, which we can share externally. As a promoter of preventive healthcare, we are eager to contribute to resolving health-related challenges faced by society."
