Transition to Well-Being Management From “pleasantness” to “job satisfaction”
Based on the idea that “in addition to physical and mental health, a sense of fulfillment in work, job satisfaction, and a feeling of contributing to society lead to a sense of well-being and happiness for each and every employee,” SCSK promotes Well-Being Management. This approach is grounded in the results of working style reforms and health and productivity management initiatives that SCSK has pursued company-wide from an early stage. We believe that in order for employees to take on challenges with confidence and experience personal growth and job satisfaction, a secure and supportive work environment is essential. Building on the foundation of a comfortable and flexible workplace, SCSK is now advancing to the next stage, creating a sense of purpose at work, and we are expanding our initiatives under the banner of Well-Being Management.
Working style reforms
The Smart Work Challenge, which was launched in FY2013, is a company-wide measure to promote a highly productive work style, targeting an average monthly overtime of 20 hours or less and a rate of consumed annual paid vacation days of 100%. In FY2024, we introduced a new “Interval Leave”*1 system aimed at preventing chronic long overtime working hours by promoting workload leveling. Through this initiative, we are working to enhance the quality and sense of fulfillment of each employee’s work while fostering a workplace environment where they can continue working with peace of mind.
*1 Employees whose average monthly overtime exceeds 60 hours over the past six months are granted five days of special paid leave, which must be taken consecutively.
Health and productivity management
We have articulated the principle of Health and Productivity Management, which states that employee health is the foundation of business growth, and have incorporated it into our work regulations along with the responsibilities of both the company and its employees. To ensure that every employee can perform at their best, we promote health and productivity management through four key pillars: health management, health advancement, health literacy, and peace of mind and risk response.
The “Kenko Waku Waku Mileage program,” launched in FY2015, is a core initiative of our health and productivity management, aimed at fostering healthy behavioral habits and enhancing health literacy. Points are awarded for employees’ healthy behavior and health checkup results, and incentives are provided based on the total annual points earned. Since its launch, almost all employees have participated in the program. The program improves employees’ health awareness and encourages behavioral changes in their daily lives, thereby contributing to the maintenance and promotion of good health.
Improvement of physical and mental health and demonstration of performance
As physical and mental health and performance are closely linked to life events such as childcare, nursing care, and medical treatment, we are also actively working to develop support systems and initiatives that help employees balance work and personal responsibilities, as well as to provide information. These efforts include providing video content explaining how to make use of internal programs.
In addition, through weekly pulse surveys, we offer employees opportunities to objectively reflect on their own condition. We have also established a system that facilitates early consultation with supervisors, HR staff, the health consultation office, and counseling services when needed, thereby supporting employees’ mental and physical well-being and fostering a work environment where they can feel secure.
Creating job satisfaction through “Motivation” and “Future Creation”
Building on our foundation of a positive work environment, we aim to foster job satisfaction through the practice of Well-Being Management by connecting our existing core values and two key values: “motivation,” which empowers each employee to fully demonstrate their abilities within our business, and “future creation,” which reflects our corporate philosophy of “Create Our Future of Dreams.”
