With regard to mental health, the Group conducts stress tests based on laws and regulations, and works to reduce the risk of mental illness by raising awareness of employees’ own levels of stress. The Group has also established a consultation desk (toll free number) in cooperation with a medical institution so that employees can talk to someone if they need to.
