The Shimizu Group aims to be a company that advances each employee by ensuring that each employee can be healthy, work energetically, and demonstrate the skills they possess. To accomplish these things, we have established a company-wide structure for improving employee health and promoting improvements in the workplace environment, and continue to take the necessary steps. By pursuing these activities, we fulfill our corporate social responsibilities and improve the job satisfaction and happiness of every employee. This is health management in the Shimizu Group.

Health management Promotion Structure

We have established a dedicated committee chaired by the president. This committee works to promote various measures and works together with the Human Resources Department, the clinic at the head office, the Health & Safety Committee, and the Health Insurance Association to establish measures and strengthen the system for managing and improving employee health.

Main Measures

Establish a clinic and staff it with occupational health professionals

Shimizu has established medical and dental clinics at the head office and prepared a system for preventing illness and disease in employees. The nine branches throughout Japan are also staffed with occupational healthcare professionals, and we work to create health throughout the company. We hold opinion exchanges among all occupational health staff members in Japan twice a year and strive to make further improvements to the health creation system.

Mental Healthcare

To maintain the mental health of employees, Shimizu provides training on self-care to young employees and training on care of those in their line to those new to managerial positions. In addition to internal support, we are also building a counseling system that provides many kinds of support to employees, including establishing an external counseling hotline and maintaining a full-time clinical psychologist at the head office. For employees returning from long-term leave, we implement a return-to-work program in cooperation with the occupational physician and clinical psychologist to support a smooth return to the workplace.

Anti-smoking Measures

Since October 2021, we have enforced a no-smoking policy during working hours and removed all smoking areas at our domestic and international branches and offices, including the head office, to eliminate passive smoking. To support employees in quitting smoking, we offer smoking cessation consultations through the head office clinic and organize health initiatives aligned with World No Tobacco Day (May 31), including educational programs and cessation challenges.

Infectious Disease Prevention Measures

We take proactive measures to prevent seasonal influenza by offering on-site group vaccinations and subsidizing external vaccination costs. The Company fully covers vaccination costs for employees’ families and temporary staff as well.

In regions where our overseas offices are located, infectious diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and dengue fever present significant health risks. As a global company, we address these challenges by providing pre-departure vaccinations, medical checkups by occupational physicians, and infection prevention guidance upon arrival to ensure the health and safety of our employees abroad.

Checking in with Employees Stationed Overseas

We are confirming the mental and physical health of employees stationed overseas by sending them a questionnaire three times a year. Public health nurses and occupational physicians are following up on the work environment, human relations, and other issues that are difficult to identify from a questionnaire through face-to-face meetings.

Creating Health Through the Cafeteria Menu

The cafeteria menu at the head office displays the calories, protein, fat, and salt content of menu items in an effort to improve employee health consciousness.

Conducting Health Exams

We mandate 100% participation in annual health checkups. For employees under 40, group checkups include lifestyle counseling by public health nurses and encouragement to undergo follow-up testing. In FY2024, the follow-up testing rate under head office jurisdiction reached 89.2%.

Employees aged 40 and older are eligible for fully subsidized comprehensive medical exams (as an alternative to regular checkups) and receive paid leave on the day of the exam to support early detection and prevention of serious illness.

For overseas employees unable to participate in group checkups, site representatives coordinate individual exams at local hospitals based on company-specified items.

We also promote awareness and subsidize screenings for female-specific health risks such as uterine and breast cancer, with screening rates in FY2024 reaching 55.9% and 82.6%, respectively.

Job Site Rounds

The occupational physician, public health nurse, and other occupational healthcare staff travel around to construction job sites and meet with employees.
Going to the job site, confirming the actual working conditions, and meeting with employees enables them to provide appropriate healthcare advice and leads to early detection of people who are in poor health.
