Mental and Physical Health Care

Together with its Health Insurance Society, the Cosmo Energy Group has been working diligently to ensure that employees who need to undergo specific health check-ups and follow special health guidance actually do so. The guidance adoption rate in fiscal 2021 was 21%, and we are working to improve this by setting a target of 40%, aiming to double the adoption level.

The Group and its Health Insurance Society have also been conducting employee stress check-ups since December 2015. The fiscal 2022 participation rate was 98%, exceeding our target of 95%.

During stress check-ups, we also look at absenteeism, presenteeism, and work engagement. In the area of absenteeism, approximately 87% of employees took five days or less of paid annual leave due to getting sick in fiscal 2022. The average work engagement score was approximately 49.

The Cosmo Energy Group Health Insurance Society has a dedicated health consultation line for insured employees and their dependents. The service can be accessed by telephone or online, and expert staff provide consultations and second opinions on all health matters.

The Group also established a mental health counseling service in fiscal 2021. Employees are now able to access counseling services from qualified clinical psychologists.
