Healthcare White Paper (Japanese)
Healthcare Management Promotion System
We consider health management to be an important corporate strategy. The director in charge of human resources and organizational culture is responsible for promoting health management, while the president and executive officer is the head of healthcare management.
We have also established the Wellness Promotion Office, which is an organization dedicated to health management. This office plans and promotes health management measures in cooperation with wellness leaders and ensures that each and every employee is aware of the importance of health management.
We also work closely with the health insurance association (Kanto IT Software Health Insurance Association) to actively promote collaborative health.
Internally, we collaborate on projects with the Culture Committee of the corporate culture creation department, and externally, we ask for the advice and cooperation of outside consultants and nutritionists.
<Occupational Health and Safety and Risk Management>
Once a month, an occupational physician conducts a workplace inspection tour, and the findings are reported to the Wellness Committee, which also serves as the Health Committee, for discussion.
The content of the discussion is communicated to the management team for immediate improvement of the indicated areas.
WingArc1s't Healthcare Management Strategy
Executive Officer, Head of Human Resources, Organizational Culture and Sustainability, and Wellness Promotion Manager
WingArc1st Inc.
We promote 100% remote work as part of our efforts to encourage diverse work styles. While self-managing and working autonomously, employees are expected to engage in smooth, free and vigorous communication with each other to promote business and maximize performance even though they cannot see each other directly.
To this end, we will promote and spread health promotion throughout the company, at each workplace, and at each individual policy level to improve the mental and physical condition of each employee, as well as to create a comfortable work environment and enhance work-life balance, leading to increased happiness at work and work engagement. Through these efforts, we aim to reduce the loss of presenteeism and absenteeism throughout the company.

Healthcare Management Promotion Concepts
We have established five concepts for the promotion of health management. These concepts are shared by all stakeholders in the planning and promotion of all initiatives, and we promote health management without wavering.
- ①Enjoyable health management based on communication
- In order to form a work environment that guarantees psychological safety, we emphasize the promotion of casual communication. For this reason, all of our measures incorporate perspectives that generate communication among employees. As a result, employees are motivated to participate because it is fun and because they have the opportunity to talk with colleagues about things other than work.
- ②Health management initiatives using our products
- When implementing health measures, we actively utilize our own products, including data visualization and chat-based communication. This has provided an opportunity for employees to deepen their understanding of the company's products and explore new ways to utilize them, and has created a sense of independence on the part of both the employees who describe the measures and the employees who participate in them.
- ③Health management through bottom-up x top-down approach
- The Wellness Committee, which consists of wellness leaders from various divisions and offices nationwide, shares health-related information and engages in unique discussions and ideas for the promotion of various measures. When implementing measures decided on from the bottom up, management executives actively participate and encourage their members to take part, and other measures are implemented company-wide through a combination of top-down initiatives.
- ④Health management through interaction with outside companies
- In considering and promoting health measures, we do not think entirely on our own, but actively exchange opinions with health management experts and other companies. We are always trying to improve by receiving feedback on our own approaches and ideas, as well as good ideas and know-how from other companies. We also offer our know-how to companies that are going to start health management, which gives them an opportunity to constantly review their own efforts.
- ⑤Health management Involving the Entire Company
- Through items 1 to 4 above, we are evolving to deliver health management that resonates with all employees. KPIs are set for all measures and monitored on a monthly and annual basis to promote timely consideration of countermeasures based on changes in numerical values, resulting in an extremely high participation rate in the measures.

Effects of health and productivity management initiatives
Looking at the changes over the past five years--from the full-scale launch of our health management initiative through 2024--we can see the results of our efforts to address employee health as a key management priority.
By promoting health initiatives with a clear focus on fostering communication in a 100% remote work environment, we have maintained high participation rates across many of these programs. As a result, the workplace environment--including support from supervisors and colleagues and a sense of unity--has improved, and employees' individual health capabilities, such as health literacy and stress management skills, as well as their lifestyle habits, have also improved.
In addition, the rates of employees with poor health management, those experiencing physical or mental health issues, and those under high stress all decreased, while work engagement improved.
On the other hand, since the obesity rate, presenteeism, and absenteeism are worsening, we will strengthen our efforts with a stronger sense of urgency.
While leveraging this health culture fostered through the promotion of health and productivity management, we will continue to evolve our initiatives with the goal of becoming a company where health promotion is carried out as a matter of course.
Dissemination and Expansion of Healthcare Management
As a company that thinks about employee health management from a managerial perspective and implements strategic practices, we intend to disseminate and expand our approach to health management throughout our group companies, business partners, local affiliates, customers and our employees' families.
Since FY2021, we have participated in various seminars to share our expertise with various companies and even university students who will lead the next generation. We have also been published in various journals.
In addition, we have joined a study group in which companies engaged in health management actively participate to share information.
In March 2023, we established "Peach Pie" as a place to deepen understanding of health management among health management promotion staff and public health nurses from each company.

< Promotion to other companies >
In April 2024, the 20th anniversary of WingArc1st's establishment, the company held a general meeting of employees under a company-wide remote work system. The Wellness Leader, a certified diet advisor, supervised the event and allocated time for stretching. It was carried out in unison, together with all executives and employees, employees of domestic and overseas subsidiaries, and guests.
At our business conference updataNOW23 held in October 2023, we set up a booth to promote health management where we distributed smoothies to those who walked 2,000 steps or more at the venue and held a game in which participants could generate electricity by pedaling a bicycle. In addition, we also showed a stretching video to the audience during intermissions between seminars, allowing them to experience and learn about our health management measures.
Seconded employees, contractors, and outsourced workers also participate in all of the company's health initiatives. Additionally, we provide a forum for exchanging information with company representatives from dispatching companies about employee health, as well as how to promote health management.
< Guidelines for promoting health management >
We have established health management guidelines as part of our efforts to promote health management initiatives throughout society.
