Initiatives for Mental health
The TechnoPro Group has formulated a "Mental Health Development Plan" based on the "Four Care for Mental Health" guidelines of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and is working to ensure that all employees can work with vitality and vigor.
In addition, we have established regular debriefing sessions on the mental health measures of the outsourced EAP companies and our Group, and the results are reported to the board of directors for reflection and improvement in the next year's action plan.
Employees receive support from qualified consultants to ensure maximum individual performance
The TechnoPro Group has established a consultation desk for issues confronting employees, allowing employees to devote themselves to their work and maximize their performance.
This consultation is provided by qualified personnel who have a wealth of specialized knowledge and experience. We also have a support system in place to resolve problems and reduce stress before they become major issues.
Having a full lineup of consultants familiar with technical industries and issues faced by engineers. Dispatching counselors familiar with technical industries and the business of our group (dispatching/contracting/outsourcing, etc.) means we are able to respond smoothly to issues unique to our business. These can include being unable to communicate clearly with staff in charge at the assigned destination, personal relationships within the project team, and differences in policies between dispatcher and dispatched staff.
Fostering an approachable organizational culture
It takes courage for a troubled employee to seek counselling and, in some cases, they may not be aware of needing help. Techno-Pro Group conducts mental health self-care awareness (for employees) and training in line care (for supervisors) to promote the importance of ‘recognizing symptoms early.’ The company strives to create an atmosphere in which people feel comfortable to accept counselling.
Mental health counselling
TechnoPro provides professional counselling via a subcontracted EAP (Employee Assistance Program) company. In addition to mental health, counselling on the following is also available:
- Work related matters: Human relations at work, future career path, etc.
- Family life: Childcare, nursing care, marital relationships, parent-child relationships, child problems, etc.
- Social life: Living environment, cross-cultural support, etc.
- Life events: Sickness, marriage, divorce, etc.
Safety and Health at Workplace
The TechnoPro Group complies with the Labor Standards Act, the Industrial Safety and Health Act, and other relevant laws and regulations to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. The Compliance Committee (an organization under the ERM Committee) and the Health Committee at each business site share information and discuss issues to prevent work-related accidents and employee illness. We also follow up to ensure the occupational health and safety training participation rate reaches 100%. In addition, we regularly report to the Board of Directors on health and safety risks such as overtime and overwork.
