Interview with the person in charge
Q.What was your issue before implementing the program?
A.The rates of employees with abnormal findings and abnormal BMIresults had remained high. While the workforce is expected to shrink, if the number of employees with health concerns continued to increase, the impact will become broader; it will lead to not just an increase of health insuranceexpenses but also low productivity. To address these issues, we were exploring a new initiative that can be added to our existing program.
Q.What made you decide to implement our program?
A.The ultimate decision factor was that MEDIROM is a convenientprogram that even shift workers can participate in because it uses a smartphone application.
We thought if we could provide effective health guidance to employees through the program, we would be able to not only preventlifestyle-related diseases but also improve our corporate value, including productivity and employees’ satisfaction.
Q.What do you think of the results of implementing the program?
A.Participants were appreciative because of both the effective resultsand the company being actively involved in employees’ health.
Q.What is your vision for healthcare service?
A.We would like 300 employees to participate in the program annuallyand reduce the number and rate of employees with abnormal BMI results by 600 people, to 25% or lower in 5 years.
Also, we would like to develop “employees with high health literacy”, thereby encouraging them to maintain andenhance their health by increasing their interest in health, and establish a wellness culture in the company.
Voices from participants
Employee A
I struggled to get used to the new dietary habits butwas able to go through the program without a need for excessive diet restriction because the program is carried out based on the theme of health.
“Visualization of changes in myself” through the application improved my motivation. In order to work for a long-term career, I believe we have to consciously start building a healthy body when we are still healthy. I think it is essential for workers specifically on the manufacturing side to reduce their workburden and build a healthy body to cope with aging.
Employee B
It was good to be able to make a habit of healthyliving by carrying out the program as a set, based on the trainer’s advice on the correct way to think of dietary and exercise habits and regular habits to improve metabolism, to achieve them and manage my progress.
Losing 6kilograms, I think I look different around my waist, shoulders and facial contour. I think from the company’s viewpoint, efforts to nurture “employees with high health literacy” will be connected, and will act as the basis of our goal“to build a strong business structure”.
Fasting
“Make yourself beautiful from the inside”
By avoiding the intake of a solid meal for a certain period of time, you can rest your digestive system. This will then allow your strained autonomic nervous system to recover from toxicity due to the regular intake of unhealthyingredients such as food additives, active oxygen and excessive amount of sugar. Regularlly controlled fasting will have an effect not just on beauty and weight loss, but will also make your body healthy.
