Checkup Championship Behavior Change Program (Hakuhodo DY Group)

The Checkup Championship is a health and productivity support program developed through industry-government-academia collaboration. The contest provides an entertaining way to promote better overall health among our employees. Based on the data from employees’ annual health examinations, awards are presented to employees who maintained or improved their health compared with the previous year. This initiative has been introduced at the Hakuhodo DY Group and has helped contribute to an enhanced awareness of health improvement among employees. For example, of the 1,087 participants in the program in fiscal 2021, 76.4% either maintained or improved their health. Furthermore, with the aim of promoting better health through employee interaction, we are trialling the Checkup Championship, in which the employees of different Group companies compete with each other. By having employees of different Group companies compete for the highest percentage of people who have maintained or improved their health, this competition seeks to improve the overall health of Group employees in a fun and entertaining way.
