SIGMAXYZ Group considers human assets, the source of value creation, as one of its most important management resources. We are now making various improvements to the work environment and programs with a focus on the health management of employees.
Under our health management program, we encourage employees to receive regular health checkups, provide optional subsidies for employees to offset some of the costs of gynecological exams, have a robust system of industrial physicians and public health nurses, offer unlimited stress checks, and a health support system that allows employees to check their health checkup results online. Since 2020, our response to the COVID-19 pandemic has included not only providing a digital workplace environment, but also vaccinations in the workplace, PCR testing and antigen testing kits paid for by the company, extensive office disinfection and cleaning, and support providing hygiene products to employees, which have helped to facilitate business operations.
In 2023, we further enhanced measures in support of the health management cycle. These included providing health related information, a subsidy for genetic testing costs, a subsidy for gynecological testing and optional cancer marker testing expanded to employees in their 20s when receiving a health checkup, a subsidy for medical costs including family members, and coupon-based support when undergoing testing at a medical institution.
