Human Resources Management
Occupational Safety and Health
● Building a healthy, safe and pleasant workplace
The Ricoh Group puts the highest priority on health and safety. Based on
this, we are committed to creating a healthier and safer work environment
that allows diverse employees to play an active role. Initiatives include
support for employees’ health care, child-rearing, and work-life balance.
In addition, the Ricoh Group presents examples of safety- and health-
related improvements and discloses relevant information as much as
possible, hoping to contribute to improving community activities related
to safety and health.
Group Employee Awareness Survey
Ricoh conducts employee awareness surveys on a regular basis with
the intention of using the results to create an enhanced workplace
environment where individual employees are encouraged to
demonstrate their abilities to the fullest and enjoy working to fulfill
their responsibilities.
In 2012, the surveys also began to be introduced to group
companies in Japan. The results are intended to be used to
develop actionable improvements that will benefit employees and
companies as well as the entire group.
Ricoh Employee Council
Ricoh Employee Council meetings are held based on the concept
that employees are collaborators in business. In Council’s regular
and ad-hoc central meetings, top management members and other
employees gather to report the current status of achievements and
progress made in each department’s projects. Information shared at
these meetings is later conveyed to all employees at office meetings
and workplace meetings. Company-wide issues such as pay raises
and bonuses are deliberated by special section meetings after
gathering opinions from as many employees as possible. Results of
deliberations are presented to executive officers.
Communication with employees
● Health management system covering all employees
In cooperation with the health insurance union, the Ricoh Group has
developed an IT system and is improving the industrial health system in
order to provide an extensive health management program to ensure
mental and physical health through prevention, early detection and follow-
up of employees with health problems. In the term ending March 2013,
we added new examination items to those legally required for the regular
health checkup for those over 35 years old. The revised health checkup
is more focused on preventing lifestyle-related diseases and on the early
detection of cancer. Our efforts in health management also include the
establishment and implementation of a management cycle that covers all
Group companies in which staff involved in mental healthcare, physical
healthcare and labor issues cooperate with each other.
● Enhancing safety management
The Ricoh Group adopted an Occupational Safety and Health
Management System (OSHMS) approach and the concept of risk
assessment earlier than any other company. It has also been constantly
improving its safety standards. We use a database of occupational
accidents that have happened within the group to share information on
causes and measures to prevent recurrence, and also to develop and
implement group-wide safety standards. In the term ending March 2013,
the Group’s priority was on eliminating accidents involving falls, cuts,
abrasions, caught in-between and entanglement hazards, and lower
back pain.
