Health Management Promotion System
With the president as the person in charge at the core, we have organized a "health management promotion system" consisting of personnel departments, the labor union, and the JTEKT health insurance union, and are working together to promote company-wide health management.
Through the "Health Management Promotion System," we are implementing health promotion and disease prevention measures at each business site/workplace, aiming to raise employee awareness of health and revitalize the workplace.
