Fitech Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Oguchi-cho, Niwa-gun, Aichi Prefecture; President and CEO: Tominori Hayashi), a company that manufactures and sells fire extinguishing agents and disaster prevention products, was certified as a "Health and Productivity Management Outstanding Organization 2026 (SME category)" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi on March 9, 2026.
Our company positions the creation of an environment where each employee can work with peace of mind for a long time as an important management issue, and we are continuously working on health management and improving the working environment.
What is the "Health and Productivity Management Outstanding Organization" Certification System?
The Health and Productivity Management Outstanding Organization Certification System is a program promoted by METI that recognizes companies that consider employee health management from a corporate management perspective and are strategically implementing it. Because it is certified through objective screening based on national standards, it is widely recognized as proof that a company seriously considers the health and workability of its employees.
Specific Initiatives by Fitech
Through the following specific measures, we are promoting the maintenance and improvement of our employees' health and creating a comfortable working environment:
- Achieving a 100% regular health checkup rate
- Thorough follow-up on re-examinations based on health checkup results
- Promoting the taking of paid leave and suppressing overtime hours (continuous encouragement and management by managers)
- The company covering the costs of gynecological cancer screenings for female employees
- Support for dietary improvement (stocking lactic acid bacteria drinks)
- Preparing a hydration environment by installing water servers
- Heatstroke countermeasures in summer (providing sports drinks and ice cream)
- Promoting flexible working styles such as telework, staggered working hours, and taking childcare leave
- Establishing skill improvement and career advancement support systems, such as training programs in AI and digital technology fields
The fact that these are not merely set up as systems but are actually functioning as a daily workplace environment led to this certification evaluation.
Background and Philosophy of the Initiatives
Under the corporate philosophy of "Protecting as many lives as possible from fire," our company is engaged in the R&D, manufacturing, and sales of fire extinguishing agents and disaster prevention products. For employees to deliver value to society on the front lines, it is essential that the environment is one where employees themselves are healthy and can work with peace of mind.
As a company that handles products that "protect human lives," we believe it is our responsibility to protect the health and safety of our employees within the company as well. We will continue to deepen our health and productivity management and strive to realize a workplace environment where employees can play an active role for a long time.
Message Regarding Recruitment
With future business expansion in mind, Fitech is looking for colleagues who can grow together with us. We look forward to applications from those who want to work long-term with peace of mind in a company that has accumulated quality and trust, such as acquiring ISO 9001 and the PrivacyMark, in a field with a social mission like disaster prevention and firefighting.
