Health Declaration
Yokogawa aims to be a company that supports its employees in their efforts to improve their physical and mental health, encourages the development of lively and stimulating workplaces, and contributes to society.
In recent years, companies have been taking a greater interest in employee health and productivity management, and have been seeking to examine these topics from a managerial perspective. It is expected that this is going to have a major impact on their business results.
Yokogawa has been looking after the well-being of its employees by allowing individuals greater flexibility in work locations and times, enhancing the workplace environment, adjusting office hours, and introducing health programs. Since all these activities are closely interrelated, the company will seek to maximize their effectiveness by taking a systematic approach and by quantitatively and qualitatively examining the results that are achieved. By introducing these activities throughout the Yokogawa Group, the company will achieve benefits such as increased productivity, improved employee motivation, and reduced medical costs.
