Health

Approach to Health

So that employees can realize a fulfilling life’s work, and at the same time, contribute to the advancement of Tokyo Electron’s business by harnessing their full capacity, it is important that each and every employee can maintain their health and dynamism while at work. By putting systems in place, we have built an environment where employees can work with peace of mind. We also believe that to maintain health, it is important that employees are aware of their own state of health and take self-directed steps for improving it. Based on our wellness declaration announced in February 2012, we have conducted a number of ongoing initiatives to support employees in this pursuit.

Health and Productivity Management

For our company to continue to grow, it is important that every employee leads a fulfilling life and maximizes their performance. We strive to create a healthy and safe work environment and our approaches were summarized in the “Declaration of Health*¹” in 2012. We built an effective health management system under the direction of executives in charge of human resources by assigning occupational health physicians and public health nurses in each plant or office.
Specific initiatives concerning health are, in addition to conducting various medical checkups in accordance with the law, offering face-to-face consultations by designated occupational health physicians for employees who work long hours. We also offer counseling opportunities supported by external industrial counselors for those who request them. Furthermore, we organize regular line-care*² seminars aimed at management, and where necessary, hold liaison meetings with the health officers and health professionals at each Group company in Japan.
Based on the collaborative health*³ concept, in cooperation with the Tokyo Electron Health Insurance Society, we are actively expanding data health*⁴ initiatives, providing employees health guidance and effective prevention and health promotion according to their individual circumstances while utilizing the examination data from medical checkups.
As a result of these efforts, the entire Group in Japan collectively received recognition as a top 500 company under the 2024 Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations Recognition Program*⁵ for the fifth consecutive year from fiscal year 2020. Going forward, from the perspective of well-being*⁶, we will promote the provision of an environment that is mindful of health so that employees can actively engage in their responsibilities with a sense of purpose and work with enthusiasm.

Systems and Initiatives for Health

Wellness declaration

Based on the wellness declaration announced in 2012, we have promoted the improvement of employees’ exercise habits based on a program of Eat-Rest-Walk-Talk. In regards to the “Eat” aspect, the renovated company cafeteria at Fuchu regional office offers healthy food choices. In addition, nine of our plants and offices in Japan offer activities to support daily health development, such as body composition measurement sessions.

Stress Checks

Within Japan, we have implemented comprehensive measures for mental health. Using a questionnaire recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, employees complete a stress check once a year, and if determined to be under high stress, they are put in contact with a public health nurse or occupational health physician for in-depth face-to-face support. During fiscal year 2021, the stress check was taken by 92.9％ of employees in Japan.

Self-care Platform

We have introduced the Pep Up personal healthcare platform, enabling employees to get healthier by monitoring their own state of health. The platform allows employees to easily check the results of their medical checkups, and to record their daily health management data, such as weight, blood pressure and body fat ratio. Other functions of Pep Up include offering employees information and suggesting activities suited to their state of health. Health age* is also displayed, incentivizing employees to improve their own health.

Health age: An indicator showing risk of lifestyle diseases, calculated based on the results of an employee’s medical checkup. The difference in years with the employee’s actual age is displayed, helping them understand their equivalent age in terms of their health conditions.
