Workplace stress and illness stemming from overwork have increased considerably in recent years to become a serious social issue. The NTT Group is committed to creating vibrant workplaces for all employees and safeguarding both the mental and physical health of employees through health management and occupational safety and health measures.
Helping employees to manage their health for the prevention, early detection and treatment of illness
Recognizing the importance of proper employee health management, including the prevention, and early detection and treatment of illness, the NTT Group makes counseling available to employees, provides healthcare services, implements measures to prevent illness caused by overwork, and encourages employees to actively monitor and manage their health.
We have in recent years been putting special priority on mental health issues, and provide preventative programs such as mental health assessment through the NTT intranet, outside counseling, and mental health seminars.
We also provide workplace managers with training to help them maintain effective communication with their employees and detect changes in the well-being of their employees early on.

Promoting occupational safety and health in line with workplace needs
The NTT Group has established workplace safety regulations that clearly specify its obligations with respect to maintaining safety management systems and ensuring employee safety throughout the organization.
Safety and health committees have been set up in NTT Group companies to consider and carry out workplace inspections, safety improvements, and measures to promote employee safety and health based on the above regulations.

Helping to promote employee health
The Cafeteria Plan is an employee welfare program operated by the NTT Group that offers a full menu of employee benefits from health promotion and asset management to childcare, nursing, and housing assistance.
In fiscal 2010, we added PC-enabled pedometer purchase assistance for employees, spouses, and dependents over the age of 40. Walking is an effective way to avoid lifestyle diseases, and this program is designed to boost employee motivation to walk regularly. Under the program, employees can apply for cafeteria points when they purchase a PC-enabled pedometer and receive some of the cost back from the company.

Using ICT to reduce long working hours
In order to reduce long work hours, in January 2009 NTT DATA installed software (Do! Refresh) for all employee computers that automatically records log-in and log-out times. The software shows how long employees have been working at their desk. Based on this data, managers and employees discuss ways of improving work styles and habits.

Safety and Health Day observed on the 15th of every month
Since May 2004, NTT FACILITIES has designated the 15th of every month as Safety and Health Day to further enhance its efforts to promote safety and health through workplace meetings, "no overtime" days, and other means of raising employee awareness of safety and health issues.
