Innovative Wellness Program at SigmaMax Japan

Japanese SigmaMax Co., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is renowned for developing and providing an array of support products, particularly in the sports sector. Understanding the significant role its offerings have in promoting physical activity, the company has fostered a system encouraging employees to utilize these products through exclusive sales as part of its welfare initiatives. The positive impact on employees' health and comfortable engagement in their daily and sports activities has been commendable, with many opting to use SigmaMax products regularly.

Proximity Between Employees and Products

The company's headquarters, located just a three-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, houses not only administrative offices but also a development and testing facility for new products. This unique layout allows employees to closely engage with the product development process. They have the opportunity to try out prototypes during working hours, providing invaluable feedback directly influencing product improvement and evolution. Moreover, SigmaMax has instituted programs such as “Sports Support,” which subsidizes costs associated with employees' sporting activities, fostering a culture of physical health and wellness.

Exclusive Sales Event for Custom-Made Insoles

In an exciting move, SigmaMax organized a special sales event for its custom-made insoles, “ZAMST Footcraft CUSTOM,” which are typically not included in the regular employee sale offerings. Utilizing the latest 3D scanning technology from “MyFootcraft,” expert staff measured the foot shapes of participating employees. This process enabled bespoke molding of the insoles tailored to each individual’s foot structure, responding to the strong demand from staff for popular products in the market.

Employee Testimonials

Feedback from the employees who participated in this initiative reflects the program’s success. One female employee in her 40s shared:

“I’ve pursued badminton since my school days and have struggled with various foot-related issues like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis. Using a custom-made insole has noticeably alleviated the stress on my feet. I’ve always relied on SigmaMax products, but opportunities like this are incredibly valuable, prompting me to purchase them in bulk!”

Another employee in their 30s remarked on the experience:

“The foot measurement with the latest 3D scanner was fascinating! It took only a few minutes to see angles and arch heights, making me appreciate my feet anew. Though I’m not regularly active in sports, I intend to try the custom insoles with my daily shoes.”
