Individual Mitsui & Co. Group companies take steps to ensure that their employees can work in healthy environments according to circumstances in the countries and regions where they are developing business. Mitsui is implementing the following initiatives based on the aforementioned well-being strategy map.

We have established a clinic in our Head Office building. The clinic in the Head Office building covers a diverse range of specialist areas, including internal medicine, orthopedic surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, E.N.T., psychosomatic medicine, and gynecology, and also provides medical consultations for employees. The clinic also provides sublingual immunotherapy for allergies, such as cedar pollen, sleep apnea syndrome test, and sets a headache clinic to improve their presenteeism. We also provide medical checkups and vaccinations for employees who are travelling overseas and returning from overseas assignment. In addition, we set up a medical office in the Osaka Office. Consultant physicians at the other branch offices in Japan provide health management for employees working at those locations.

We provide annual medical examination opportunities for employees, and an environment is provided where each individual employees can view the results of their own examinations on the intranet. In addition, Mitsui and Mitsui Bussan Health Insurance Society are also working collaboratively toward the prevention and detection of diseases related to lifestyle at an early stage, and enhance health guidance with the goal of 100% reexamination rater after medical examinations, through the implementation of the following measures:

We implement the following health promotion measures to prevent lifestyle related diseases and metabolic syndrome among employees.

To provide support for female employees, we established a gynecology department at our medical clinic in the Head Office and provides individual consultations with pubic health nurses. In addition, we are working to address women's health issues through the following initiatives.

At Mitsui, we have established multiple consultation services focused on ensuring that employees can easily access when they need to.

Internal counseling desk were increased to strengthen mental health measures. When an employee takes a care leave, occupational physicians and public health nurses continue to provide services to ensure that employees can feel confident about returning to work. After their return to work, occupational physicians, public health nurses, and other relative personnel work together to prevent recurrence and help to manage the employee's health condition through follow-ups and support from managers and supervisors, alongside various other employment measures as necessary. We are also working to deepen understanding of mental health through training for managers, and conduct seminars by internal counselors and other initiatives.

Starting from the fiscal year 2022, employees seconded to overseas countries are also able to undergo stress checks. For those identified with high stress levels, industrial physicians conduct interviews upon the individual's request, and feedback the results of group analysis to the workplace to contribute to the improvement of the work environment.

Due to advancements in medical care and changes in working styles, the number of employees who continue to work while undergoing medical treatment is increasing. Upon the employee’s request, medical and workplace personnel work together to provide support that aligns with the treatment situation. Additionally, we are implementing initiatives such as holding seminars for support, creating a “Handbook for Balancing Treatment and Work” for employees receiving support and their colleagues, to facilitate this balance.

Since the fiscal year ended March 2020, we have visualized the results of a variety of initiatives carried out to promote employee health, such as the ratio of employees receiving health examinations, the prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases, and data on smoking and alcohol consumption-related measures and stress checks. We aim to raise individual awareness of health and improve behavior. We have posted data in comparison with countrywide data, data by unit, and chronological changes on the intranet in both Japanese and English to communicate such information to Mitsui employees.

As many of our employees are stationed overseas, we regard health management for not only employees working overseas but also their families as an important priority, and we have established systems to ensure that advice is available at any time if employees or family members suffer physical or mental illness. Vaccinations and health checkups are provided for employees assigned overseas and their families. They also receive overseas health management training covering physical and mental health and other topics, as well as information about how to obtain medical information and access support systems while overseas. After arrival, in cooperation with local personnel, occupational physicians at the Head Office provide support for employees assigned overseas via email, telephone, and interviews using a videophone system.

We also provide health management support for employees working overseas and their families in partnership with emergency medical service contractors.

This system supports association members and their family members in Japan and overseas by covering medical expenses that are not covered by health insurance in the event of illness or injury.

We have implemented the measures detailed below at the Head Office building to develop a healthy and comfortable working environment for employees.
