Under a promotion system reporting directly to the President, we collaborate with industrial physicians, public health nurses, and the health insurance association. Our proactive initiatives include smoking cessation programs, comprehensive health check-up management, and mental health measures.
Beyond standard care, we have maintained a 100% childcare leave take-up rate among male employees since 2016 and provide education on women’s health issues. We also established the "Wellness Leave," a unique Pigeon program focusing on menstrual health as well as PMS and menopausal symptoms. Furthermore, we are fostering a culture of mutual understanding across genders and attributes by providing education on nursing care and establishing consultation desks. As a certified organization, we remain committed to sharing our best practices with business partners and proactively collaborating on health promotion initiatives.

Occupational Health Management Initiatives

Pigeon encourage employees to undergo periodic and secondary health examinations, and along with the spread of specific health guidance, we provide partial cost assistance for optional examinations and full cost assistance for physical examinations at specific ages (for employees aged 35, 45, and 55) to encourage employees to undergo these examinations. We are making efforts to improve employees' health literacy and exercise habits by holding health lectures by industrial physicians, implementing e-learning programs, and holding walking events.
