Background of This Material's Creation

In recent years, the promotion of health management has been positioned as an important management theme that supports improved employee performance and sustainable organizational growth. Since 2023, disclosure of human capital information has been mandated for listed companies, etc., and "maintaining employee health" has become a key disclosure item. Furthermore, against the backdrop of a declining working population, as companies face intensified recruitment competition and the need to prevent employee turnover, health management is increasing in importance from the perspectives of corporate talent strategy, organizational development, and non-financial information.

On the other hand, while management recognizes health management as an important initiative, it is often a challenge to connect it with business and organizational issues and position it as a continuous effort. For HR, general affairs, labor, and well-being promotion managers, it is not easy to design the entire process from organizing necessary items to building a promotion system and implementing initiatives for certification acquisition or renewal. It is important to proceed with preparation, implementation, and operation in an integrated manner while addressing organizational issues, rather than making the system acquisition the sole objective.

Based on these corporate challenges, Cradle has released the "Handbook for Obtaining Certification as a Health Management Excellent Corporation," which organizes not only the understanding of the Health Management Excellent Corporation system but also the preparation, implementation, and operation for obtaining certification. This material was created based on Cradle's expertise in supporting corporate well-being and promoting health management, and "Cradle" is implemented in over 10% of "White 500" certified companies for Health Management Excellent Corporation 2025.
