Activities to Enhance Mental Health

Mazda is reconfiguring its systems and considering new methods to pre-empt mental disorders, focusing on joint mental health projects that involve cooperation between management and workers.

1. Line-based care: Conduct ongoing series of healthcare seminars and lectures, one production line at a time
2. Self-care: Conduct seminars and provide follow-up mental health checkups during physical examinations
3. Establish health consultation system (through external employee assistance programs)
4. Promote workplace communication through the Kotoba no Hanabata campaign

Promoting Lifestyle Improvements

Smoking

We have implemented the following policies to reduce the companywide smoker ratio to 32% in the end.

1. Establish a "Mazda No Tobacco Day" throughout the company.
2. Provide outpatient treatment to stop smoking through nicotine patches.
3. Carry out a no smoking marathon.
4. Conduct inspections of smoking areas by an industrial physician.
5. Remove tobacco vending machines from company premises.

Walking

We are actively promoting walking as part of our strategy to foster cardiac health, as well as to constrain increases in those restricted by lifestyle-related illness arising from obesity.

1. Distributing pedometers to monitor the number of paces walked (Challenge Walk).
2. Using the daily number of paces to set an annual target to walk 2,000 km.
3. Establish an in-house walking course.
4. Hold such events as organized walks reaching out to employees and their families.

Strengthen Healthcare-Oriented Risk Management Activities

1. Strengthen support of health for employees working long hours (have industrial physicians and health maintenance professionals conduct oral examinations, enhance links with the workplace, etc.)
2. Enhance health support for personnel assigned overseas or on business trips (initiate local on-site health consultation rounds)
3. Introduce all-member consultations for personnel in high-risk groups
