📢Effective April 2026 | Support for Balancing Medical Treatment and Work

Starting in April 2026,
efforts to support the balance between medical treatment and work will become a duty of endeavor for employers.

Since this is not yet widely known,
we are sharing this information with corporate representatives and municipal officials.

■ Considering balance support from a management perspective

This is a topic that HR personnel can present to their company president.

“President, it seems that preparing for this offers management benefits.”

Establishing a support system for balancing work and treatment leads to—

🔷 Improved recruitment competitiveness
🔷 Cost reduction through turnover prevention
🔷 Increased organizational trust
🔷 Realization of human capital management
🔷 Strengthening of risk management

These are the management effects it produces.

■ The key to success is “external expertise”

System development tends to become a heavy burden if you try to complete it solely within the company.

Engaging a group of experts who have long worked on balance support and have a track record of corporate support, such as

as external staff is one method for creating a highly effective environment.

✔ System design
✔ Operational support
✔ Management training
✔ Case response advice

By utilizing external knowledge,
it becomes possible to build a system that is more than just “for show.”

■ Where to start?

✔ Clarifying consultation points
✔ Inventorying existing systems
✔ Sharing internal policies
✔ Considering the use of experts as needed

Balance support is not about “kindness,”
but about building a management foundation that enhances a company's sustainability.

We are also promoting awareness in the Nishi-Mikawa region.
