Health and Safety of Employees

Mental Healthcare

The Takeda Total Human Safety Net (THS) is a support system for both the mental and physical health management of employees. The THS supports activities such as prevention, early detection and treatment with regard to mental healthcare in particular. In addition to the usual periodical health checkups and provision of a medical staff of industrial physicians, Takeda employs an external employee assistance program (EAP) that gives employees in need access to consultations with specialists such as doctors and clinical psychotherapists outside the company.
In addition, the THS supports employees who need to take long-term medical leave, ensuring their livelihood and facilitating their return to work. It also supports employees who have to leave the company due to illness or injury after a long leave of absence, helping their families as well to maintain stability in their lives.

Health and Safety

In accordance with its basic principle of upholding respect for people’s lives and dignity, Takeda strives to secure the participation of all employees in ensuring health and safety. The company established Safety and Health Committees at the head office and branch offices as well as at production sites and research centers. In addition, Takeda takes steps to prevent occupational accidents and improve the health of employees by drawing up action programs based on the Company-wide occupational health and safety management policies formulated each year.
