Health Management

Based on the belief that efforts to maintain and promote employee health are investments to increase profitability in the future, health management is to implement health promotion and other measures from a management perspective and strategically implement them. By conducting health management, we can expect various effects, such as improving productivity and image, as well as recruiting effects.

In Yokohama City, we believe that efforts to maintain and promote the health of employees, etc. are investment to increase the profitability of companies in the future, and consider the health promotion of employees, etc. from a management perspective and implement them strategically. In order to widely disseminate the concept of “health management” widely, we have certified offices that engage in health management as Yokohama Health Management Certification Offices.
