Advantage Risk Management Launches 'Industrial Health Dock' Assessment Service to Proactively Address Corporate Health System Deficiencies

Advantage Risk Management (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Shinji Torigoe) has announced the launch of 'Industrial Health Dock,' a new assessment service that evaluates a company's industrial health system from the perspective of 'management risk.'

In recent years, the business environment has undergone significant shifts. As securing and retaining talent becomes more challenging, addressing mental health issues and long-term leave is increasingly viewed not merely as a labor issue, but as a critical management task that directly impacts recruitment power, productivity, and corporate value. However, the diversification of work styles and geographical dispersal of facilities have made it difficult for companies to grasp and effectively manage the actual state of their industrial health operations.

Having supported numerous companies in their industrial health systems through EAP, return-to-work support, and health management initiatives, we have identified several structural challenges:

- Compliance is prioritized above all else, leading to the false assumption that 'there are no problems.' - Information is fragmented across locations and job categories, making it impossible to grasp the overall picture. - Ground-level information is not 'translated' into the language of management.

In such situations, issues that could have been addressed proactively often manifest as talent shortages, increased turnover, reduced productivity, and damage to corporate reputation.

To address this, we developed 'Industrial Health Dock,' an assessment service designed to visualize the overall industrial health landscape.

Features of the Service

1. Visualizing Current State from a Management Perspective We translate not only the status of industrial physician appointments and health checkups, but also the impacts on recruitment, retention, productivity, and corporate reputation into 'management risks.'

2. Streamlining Organizational and Decision-making Structures We clarify where information, authority, and responsibility are being obstructed, making personnel dependencies and operational inconsistencies across facilities visible.

3. Output Designed for Management Decisions We provide a report that visually organizes risks, enabling top management to make informed decisions.

[Assessment Process] To ensure high-quality assessment, experts with deep knowledge of public health and the industrial health sector accompany the client through the process of grasping and evaluating the current situation.

This service is not intended for operational outsourcing; rather, it aims to clarify points of issue and prioritize actions for improvement. The process is estimated to take approximately 2 to 3 months.

1) Current Situation Grasp: Conducting interviews at headquarters and various facilities to map the industrial health system and review operational workflows. 2) Diagnosis and Translation: Organizing visualized facts into management risks, grouping them, and designing action priorities. We use AI for speedy data organization and present unique insights incorporating expert perspectives. 3) Reporting and Consensus: Providing an executive summary and detailed assessment report, holding a report meeting, and reaching a consensus on the next steps.

Operating on the belief that 'industrial health is an infrastructure supporting management,' we remain committed to providing support that contributes to corporate decision-making.
