In order to support a meaningful life plan for employees and
ensure the lasting development of the Company, Hoya works to
maintain and enhance health throughout the Group so that
employees can work energetically, healthy in both mind and
body.
Hoya has implemented measures to raise mental health awareness through mental health
courses for managers and supervisors and for regular employees. Based on the Hoya Group
Mental Health Measures Guidelines, the Company has also established a system to ensure
thorough care by managers and supervisors with the support of staff in charge of personnel and
occupational physicians.
In compliance with a 2000 Administrative Guideline of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
and the Industrial Safety and Health Law of 2006, Hoya has created and implemented excessive
working hours standards. Employees who exceed these standards meet with physicians
(occupational physicians) and address the problem through work management (overseen by a
personnel officer and a supervisory officer) and healthcare management (occupational
physicians) programs.
Since 2002, Hoya has run a lifestyle habits improvement program for employees designed to
prevent metabolic syndrome. In the fiscal year under review, the Company held special health
educational seminars and lifestyle habits improvement programs to prevent and alleviate
metabolic syndrome and lifestyle diseases for approximately 600 employees.
To provide health consultation for employees assigned overseas, occupational physicians meet
with employees and their families to provide hygiene education , conduct a health check-up and
discuss health consultation before they leave Japan or while they are overseas. In addition,
occupational physicians pay periodic visits to facilities and to discuss health condition and other
issues as necessary with employees located overseas.
Hoya applied for Occupational Health Certification with the University of Occupational and
Environmental Health, Japan and was approved this certification on November 15, 2010. The
certification program objectively evaluates health and hygiene management initiatives
companies with comprehensive industrial health programs implement. The certification indicates
