Supporting Connections for Industrial Health Nurses: The 2025 Health Nurse Shine Festival Report

On July 18, 2025, APOPUS Career Inc., a Tokyo-based company specializing in career support for medical professionals, held the second annual 'Health Nurse Shine Festival.' This event aimed to express gratitude and facilitate networking among Industrial Health Nurses, including industrial physicians and pharmacists.

A Safe Space for Health Nurses

Industrial Health Nurses play a vital role in maintaining employee wellness within organizations; however, their high level of expertise and the confidentiality of the information they manage often limits their opportunities to discuss work-related concerns. Many nurses feel they have no one to turn to for advice and fear asking seemingly basic questions regarding their specialized knowledge.

As the focus on 'health management' increases in corporate settings, the demand for Industrial Health Nurses continues to grow. Yet, opportunities for networking and information exchange remain very scarce. APOPUS Career frequently conducts training sessions known as the 'Health Nurse Shine Training' to address such challenges, along with organizing the festival as an additional means to foster relationships within the profession.

A Gathering of Diverse Experiences

The 2025 Health Nurse Shine Festival attracted a broad audience, ranging from seasoned professionals with over a decade of experience to newcomers just starting their journey in the profession. Representatives from various sectors, including IT, real estate, media, manufacturing, and finance, gathered to share insights and experiences, overcoming the usual barriers met when professionals from different industries come together.

An Energetic Exchange of Ideas

The atmosphere during the event was characterized by warmth and camaraderie. Attendees had the opportunity to engage freely in discussions with APOPUS Career employees and each other, creating an inviting setting for dialogue.

During the 'Interview Time,' facilitated conversations emerged around specific questions previously collected from the participants regarding Industrial Health issues. This spontaneous exchange fostered significant discussions where attendees shared personal experiences and challenges, highlighting a sense of shared understanding. The event also featured a quiz competition, which contributed to the lively atmosphere.

Impactful Moments and Testimonials

The culmination of the festival saw all participants sharing light refreshments and relaxing in a convivial setting, concluding the event with a celebratory group photo that captured the joy of the day.

Hiroko Takano, the head of APOPUS Career's Healthcare Solutions Department, shared insights into the company's commitment to supporting Industrial Health Nurses: 'We are proud to offer leading career support services in this industry. Our aim is to empower Nurses, making sure they know we are here for them during challenging times.'

The event was attended by 31 participants, who overwhelmingly reported a 100% satisfaction rate, with every attendee expressing their intention to join future events. Testimonials included sentiments such as 'The exchanges with other health professionals broadened my perspective' and 'Connecting with colleagues from various companies has been incredibly stimulating.'
