SalivaTech Inc. (Representative Director: Makoto Sunamura, hereinafter "SalivaTech"), which developed "SalivaChecker," a saliva-based cancer risk test, announced that it has been certified as a Health and Productivity Management Outstanding Organization (SME category "Bright 500") by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on March 9, 2026, for the second consecutive year, following last year's recognition.
As a company that supports "pre-symptomatic and preventive care" with technology, we believe that employee health is the source of innovation. This year, we strengthened our efforts in both mental and physical aspects, including all employees undergoing our self-developed service "SalivaChecker," mental care based on nutritional science, and communication initiatives utilizing local culture.
## Main Initiatives for This Term
Our company positions "Health and Productivity Management" as one of the pillars of our management strategy and has been conducting activities centered on the following three axes:
1. **Mental Health**
* **"Health of Mind from Nutrition" - Holding Nutrition Seminars:** To deepen knowledge about dietary habits directly linked to the prevention of mental health issues, we conducted nutrition seminars by experts.
* **Promotion of Flexible Work Styles:** Actively utilizing the flextime system. We thoroughly created an atmosphere where employees can easily take paid leave, aiming to improve work-life balance.
* **Utilization of Engagement Surveys:** Grasping the organization's condition with data and connecting it to continuous improvement of the workplace environment.
2. **Physical Communication**
* **Creation of Exercise Opportunities:** In addition to daily radio calisthenics, we planned in-house walking events to create opportunities for employees to develop exercise habits while having fun.
* **Thorough Follow-up After Health Check-ups:** We don't just stop at receiving the check-up; we carefully recommend re-examinations and encourage medical consultations based on the results.
* **Holding In-house Events (e.g., Imoni-kai):** Through interaction events like "Imoni-kai," which is a local cultural tradition, we activated communication across departmental boundaries, leading to the creation of a psychologically safe workplace.
3. **Investment in Preventive Medicine**
* **Receiving "SalivaChecker":** As part of employee benefits, we provided our self-developed inspection service "SalivaChecker," which can assess current cancer risk with a small amount of saliva, to all employees. Employees personally experience the value of our products, raising health awareness and promoting concrete behavioral changes towards early detection and early treatment.
## Comment from Representative Director Makoto Sunamura
I am deeply honored to be certified as a Health and Productivity Management Outstanding Organization for two consecutive years. We are a company that delivers "preventive medicine" through saliva-based cancer risk testing to society. That is why we believe that we ourselves must first enjoy its value and be healthy in mind and body. Employee health is the company's greatest asset. By actively utilizing our proprietary technology within the company, we will strive to create a workplace environment where employees are vibrant in mind and body and can work with smiles, contributing to the local community.
