[Reducing Operational Burden of Health Management] Fractal Workout Launches Corporate Health Management Support Service

Fractal Workout Inc. has launched a corporate health management support service to help companies promote health management, utilizing its corporate health assistance tool, "BODY PALETTE."

In this support service, tendencies in health conditions are grasped at the organizational and group levels based on monthly questionnaires. Fractal Workout flexibly designs measures based on specific corporate challenges, operates exercise programs, and provides practical support for obtaining "Certified Health & Productivity Management" status.

FRACTAL WORKOUT, operated by Fractal Workout Inc., is a personal training gym for executives based in front of Harajuku Station. Separate from its medical fitness courses as a health promotion and designated exercise therapy facility, this corporate support service assists in the design and operation of company-wide health measures.

Background of the launch

For companies engaged in health management, the scope of tasks to implement is expanding, including health checkups, stress checks, employee seminars, exercise initiatives, e-learning, and compliance with the Health & Productivity Management certification requirements.

On the other hand, for human resources, general affairs, labor relations, and health management promotion departments, planning, internal communication, implementation management, review, and application preparation are often handled by limited staff.

In particular, the following challenges easily arise:
- Want to engage in health management but do not know where to start.
- Weak connection between implemented measures and organizational issues.
- High man-hours required for documentation and organization for Health & Productivity Management certification.
- Desire to grasp employee health status by organization, not by individual.
- Inability to integrally design exercise initiatives, seminars, and e-learning.
- Coordination with health insurance associations, industrial physicians, public health nurses, and HR departments is highly personal/ad-hoc.
- Lack of materials to explain the necessity of health management to executive management.

To address these issues, Fractal Workout Inc. provides health management support tailored to each company's situation, combining health visualization focused on BODY PALETTE, exercise initiatives, and practical support for certification acquisition.

Grasping health status at the organizational level with BODY PALETTE

BODY PALETTE is a corporate health support service. Based on monthly questionnaires, it grasps tendencies in health status at the organizational and group levels without the purpose of identifying individual employees.

Main areas grasped include work style, fatigue, sleep, exercise habits, physical discomfort, stress tendencies, and lifestyle habits.

By utilizing BODY PALETTE, companies can confirm trends in health issues by unit, such as department, base, occupation, and hierarchy, making it easier to consider which health measures should be implemented next.

Note that BODY PALETTE is not intended for medical acts, diagnosis, treatment, or providing individual health plans. It is a corporate service for companies to grasp health issue trends at the organizational level and utilize them for the design and operation of health management measures.

Provided health management support

Fractal Workout Inc. provides the following support in combination, depending on the company's situation:
- Grasping health status at the organizational level using BODY PALETTE
- Design support for health management measures
- Practical support for Health & Productivity Management certification
- Online exercise programs for employees
- Design of health measures for owners, directors, and managers
- Seminar planning according to health issues
- Provision of e-learning content
- Coordination with industrial physicians, public health nurses, and health insurance associations
- Review of implemented measures and proposals for the next set of measures
- Organization of internal communication materials and guidance lines

Therefore, this support does not involve imposing fixed packages uniformly. It is possible to consult from the required scope, such as supplementing existing measures, one-off initiatives, annual operation, certification acquisition support, or measures for management levels.

Positioning with FRACTAL WORKOUT

FRACTAL WORKOUT is a personal training gym for executives based in front of Harajuku Station. As a health promotion facility and designated exercise therapy facility, it also provides medical fitness courses that correspond to exercise therapy based on a doctor's prescription.

However, the corporate health management support service and exercise therapy based on doctor prescriptions are operated clearly separately.

The corporate health management support aims for organizational health status grasping, health management measure design, exercise initiatives, and certification acquisition support.

On the other hand, exercise therapy as a designated exercise therapy facility is handled based on a doctor's prescription and referral content for those with a medical diagnosis who are deemed to require treatment by a doctor.

Practical support for Health & Productivity Management certification

Towards the Health & Productivity Management certification, it is necessary not only to implement measures but also to organize implementation content, communicate internally, confirm participation status, review, and reflect on the next year's measures.
