Believing that the health of Nippon TV employees is of the utmost importance for the company, we will proactively take initiatives to enhance health and health awareness as stated in our Sustainability Policy.

We believe increased health and health awareness are keys to realizing one of our 6 Material Issues, "Create a Healthy and Creative Workplace," where employees thrive and feel their jobs are meaningful. This, in turn, boosts labor productivity, financial performance, and corporate value.

Moreover, as a company that provides enriching moments to consumers from all walks of life, we at Nippon TV will disseminate information through our content to help find solutions to the health challenges society faces as a whole.

One Human Resource Manager (HRM) is appointed to each division to look after every employee from a different perspective than that of the department heads. Through meetings and day-to-day conversations with employees, HRMs ensure that interpersonal relationship issues and mental and physical illnesses do not get overlooked.

We hold periodic body composition measurement sessions together with TIPNESS, a group company. In addition to weight and body fat percentage, we also check muscle mass, body shape, left-right balance, athletic standard index, and other metrics that cannot be measured on a standard scale. One can learn about the state of one’s body and receive advice from specialists according to the results. We encourage not only our employees but also our business partners to participate in this initiative in order to raise their health awareness.

The employee cafeteria periodically offers a TIPNESS Collaboration Menu that uses nutritious seasonal ingredients to prepare a variety of body-friendly dishes such as fat-burning or muscle-strengthening meals that can be selected depending on the results of the body composition measurement sessions. Also offered are seasonal meals designed to take care of the body and prevent hay fever or colds.

Occupational physicians and healthcare providers are regularly on hand to support the mental and physical health of employees on a daily basis. They provide aftercare based on medical checkup results, mental health counseling, and consultations for those working long hours.
In addition to regular health checkups, we also provide opportunities for employees to undergo fecal occult blood tests and ultrasound examinations as part of cancer screenings. For women, our health insurance association has a program that provides subsidies for gynecological examinations.

To encourage employees to use vacation days to maintain their health and refresh themselves, we identify recommended days to take paid leave. In fiscal year 2023, the dates are weekdays during Golden Week and the year-end and New Year holidays to make it easier for employees to take consecutive days off.
We are also working to create an environment that makes it easier for employees to take leave by rescheduling regular meetings.Dates set for FY2023: May 1 (Monday) and May 2 (Tuesday) during the Golden Week period and two to four days during the year-end and New Year period.

We conduct monthly surveys of all employees regarding health, interpersonal relationships, and job duties. Engagement of the company as a whole and of each department is converted into scores and assessed against a fixed benchmark. The purpose is to improve the organization in order to create a rewarding workplace.
