Creating a Workplace that
Promotes Job Satisfaction
Occupational health and safety that focuses on mental and physical health
We treasure the wellbeing of our employees. To safeguard this precious asset, we ensure that each workplace upholds health and safety principles on a daily basis and provides early intervention for work-related stress and burnout.
Early intervention for mental health issues
As part of our health-promotion strategy, we actively encourage employees to receive further health checks when necessary. To promote mental health, Prima Meat Packers hires occupational counselors. Currently, 25 of these counselors are working in posts across Japan.
During fiscal 2020, many employees worked from home. The change in communication style led to a rise in mental health complaints. To tackle this problem, we teamed up with Human Frontier, Inc., a provider of employee assistance program (EAP) solutions, to check for the early warning signs of mental distress and intervene swiftly.
Remote health & safety training
To ensure that each workplace upholds health and safety principles on a daily basis, we monitor legal and regulatory compliance and require each workplace to draw up a health and safety action plan for inculcating a safety-conscious culture.
In normal years, we would provide health and safety training that focused on checking plants for potential hazards or unsafe practices. In fiscal 2020, we responded to the challenges by holding the training remotely. In that year, the training focused on the obligations of supervisors and forepersons under the Industrial Safety and Health Act. Attendees learned about their legal responsibilities, received supervisor training, and heard reports about past work accidents. Aside from this internal training, we hired external consultants to provide health and safety training in workplaces across the group.
