The program selects companies engaging in efforts to advance health and productivity management and providing outstanding health management in collaboration with insurers.

Since 2015, NYK has been conducting a health-promotion project in collaboration with the NYK Health Insurance Society, and exchanges information and shares issues with the NYK Health Insurance Society regularly.
NYK offers employees enhanced regular health checkups, and doctors at its in-house clinic provide employees with full supports for health maintenance.
NYK also holds a running and walking event, including coaching events led by professional trainers, so as to encourage employees to remain health conscious

Recognizing that employee health is the foundation for its business activities and one of its highest priorities, NYK will continue to examine effective methods to improve employee well-being.
