Promoting Workplace Well-being through Disability Employment and Health Management

On June 25, 2025, KindAgent Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo and led by Ryo Suke Chihara, announced the launch of a new initiative designed to simultaneously advance disability employment and health management. This innovative service, named "Massage Room Opening Consulting," focuses on employing visually impaired licensed professionals, such as national certified massage therapists, known as "Health Keepers," within companies. Through the establishment and operation of massage rooms, this initiative aims to address two significant challenges: promoting the employment of people with disabilities and enhancing employee well-being.

Background and Societal Needs

Starting from July 2026, companies in Japan will face an increased obligation, with the disability employment rate rising to 2.7%. Coupled with the growing incidence of mental health issues and the increasing complexity of work tasks, there is an urgent need for companies to create adequate roles for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, mental health-related long-term absences and resignations have become significant financial burdens for businesses, making the promotion of employee well-being an immediate priority.

Features of the Service

• - Leveraging Specialized Skills of Visually Impaired Individuals: This initiative creates jobs while utilizing the unique skills of visually impaired professionals.
• - Professional Treatment by Licensed Practitioners: Services are provided by qualified therapists with medical knowledge.
• - Proven Effectiveness in Reducing Workplace Stress: Statistical evidence shows reductions in stress levels, improved focus, and lower employee turnover rates.
• - Comprehensive Support from Setup to Operation: The service includes assistance with health department compliance, facility design, recruitment support, and internal awareness campaigns.

Results from Service Implementation (Selected Case Study)

• - The proportion of employees experiencing high stress decreased from 30% to 18%.
• - Symptoms of depression improved by 27%.
• - The turnover rate dropped from 9.5% to 6.2% annually.
• - 82% of users felt an increase in trust towards the company.
