NEC Solution Innovators Makes History with ISO 25554 Certification

In a significant achievement for corporate well-being initiatives in Japan, NEC Solution Innovators has been awarded the "Level 2 Certification" under the Well-Being ISO Guideline Certification System, based on ISO 25554:2024. This new standard was designed to promote well-being across various organizational environments, and NEC has taken the lead as the first company in Japan to reach this milestone.

This recognition stems from NEC's efforts in establishing the "NEC Work Style Visualization Service Plus," which has fostered a well-being community that respects and supports each employee's individual situation. The initiative aims to create a work environment where employees can thrive, collaboratively enhancing their capabilities in a safe atmosphere.

Currently, this community includes approximately 170 companies and 150,000 employees, all participating in a structure that assigns team leaders within their respective organizations. The central objective is to ensure that each employee can work both mentally and physically healthy. Accompanying this effort, NEC experts lead continuous improvement activities based on data and dialogue.

Overview of the Well-Being ISO Guideline Certification

This certification system evaluates and certifies the initiatives undertaken by companies, municipalities, and regional projects, all aimed at realizing a society that prioritizes sustainable and inclusive well-being. As organizations progress, they can achieve recognition across four levels.

Levels of Certification:

1. Pre-Certification: Preparation Stage (Declaration)
2. Level 1: Implementation Begins (Introduction)
3. Level 2: Process Refinement (Well-Being Promotion Improvement)
4. Level 3: Social Impact (Advanced)

Key Evaluation Points

The community practices a continuous improvement cycle based on data and dialogue. It has successfully integrated various measures adjusted to the service introduction stages. Initially, efforts focused on addressing labor risks, advancing to fostering a culture of mutual support among employees, and ultimately working towards a cohesive work environment through regular improvements.

Development of Well-Being Promotion Leaders

To promote self-driven well-being initiatives in each organization, the community is dedicated to training and supporting team leaders at the operational level. This includes offering analysis support for visualized work data and suggesting improvement plans based on case studies of success and failure. This flexible approach ensures tailored assistance aligned with the unique circumstances and challenges faced by each team.

Sustained Improvement Activities through Community Evaluation

The well-being community assesses the utilization of services, team cohesion, and various challenges through both quantitative and qualitative evaluation. The insights derived from evaluations help in identifying key success factors and obstacles, allowing for a continual review of strategies and support measures. By integrating best practices across the board, insights gained are reflected in the following year’s support plans, contributing to ongoing improvements within the community.

NEC Solution Innovators plans to continue its supporting role in this community, emphasizing a data-driven approach enhanced by ongoing dialogue. Through these efforts, the company seeks to contribute significantly to the enhancement of well-being across organizations and enterprises in Japan.
