SUSTAINABILITY
Promotion of Health Management
At MIXI, we recognize that a healthy mind and body serve as a solid foundation which gives rise to innovation. As such, we are fully committed to health management that allows our employees to proactively improve and maintain their health.
Our Purpose—Enriching communication and inspiring moments of joy—lies at the heart of our core beliefs. In order to realize our Purpose, we will create spaces and opportunities for meaningful connection around the world by promoting a healthy lifestyle to our employees and building our organization with the sort of passion that arises from good health.
Koki Kimura, MIXI, Inc. President, Representative Director, Senior Corporate Officer, CEO
At MIXI, the President and CEO serves as the head of health management, and regularly reviews health issues and future strategies at Board of Directors meetings and Management Council meetings. In addition, we have established a forum where health committee members, who represent our employees, and the section in charge of promoting health management can exchange opinions, ensuring that both feedback from employees and results of workplace inspections can be reflected in our measures.
Furthermore, we work closely with health insurance societies (namely the Kanto IT Software Health Insurance Society) and external partner organizations to promote various initiatives.
As part of our human capital management, we promote health management to support the wellbeing of each and every employee. Through these and various other human resource measures, we strive to embody PMWV.

PHYSICAL HEALTH
Promotion of food education
We launched a salad deli in our office cafeteria where employees can create a salad bowl of their favorite vegetables, served with soup and a mini rice ball. After improving the menu based on employee feedback, servings at the third event were approximately 250% that of the first event, turning it into one of our most popular offerings. In addition, we regularly hold veggie check events where employees can track their vegetable intake and receive dietary advice from public health nurses and dietitians. Moving forward, we will continue to promote accurate nutrition knowledge and encourage healthy eating habits.
Promotion of exercise habits
With many employees working remotely and an increasing number of employees at risk for lifestyle‐related diseases each year, we’ve begun offering exercise events to encourage exercise habits. One such initiative is a regularly occurring event where employees can take physical fitness and InBody measurements, with each session of this event drawing over 100 participants. In the past several years, we’ve seen a rise in the percentage of employees who exercise regularly as well as the percentage of employees at a healthy weight, and will continue our efforts to develop effective health measures.
Health associated with gender
We aim for each employee to deepen their understanding of health issues associated with gender and be able to act appropriately. As part of this effort, we provide health literacy training on both women’s health and men’s health. In FY2025, we started subsidizing the cost of optional tests for regular health examinations (up to 5,000 yen per person) so employees can add additional screenings as they see fit. Furthermore, to promote early cancer detection, we inform employees that they can receive cervical, breast, and prostate cancer screenings on the same day as their regular health examinations, which has led to high screening rates.
MENTAL HEALTH
Prevention of mental health issues
In recent years, the rapid shift to remote work has reduced opportunities for team members to meet in person, making it more difficult to spot signs of poor mental condition. To address this, we provide rank-based mental health training for employees, managers, new managers, and new hires. We provide information on sleeping habits and make improvements to the work environment based on condition surveys*. Going forward, our wellness promotion section (supported by occupational health staff), human resource section, and labor management section will continue to work together to develop measures that focus on prevention.
*Each department conducts a survey on organizational issues and working environment, and utilizes employees’ opinions to create a better organization.
Support for mental health
We’ve established a consultation service to provide prompt support when an employee requests a consultation. This service is comprised of both in-house occupational health staff and external specialists. Employees who take extended leave continue to undergo periodic check-ins from an occupational physician or public health nurse after returning to work. When deemed necessary, we coordinate with the employees’ supervisors and human resource personnel to ensure smooth returns to work and help prevent relapses. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen these efforts to create a workplace where all employees feel secure and supported.
SOCIAL HEALTH
Workplace support systems
Separate from regular paid leave, we have introduced a care leave system of 12 days annually which employees can use when they are unwell (including cases of menstrual pain) or need to care for a family member. In addition, employees can store up to 40 days of reserve leave, which can be used for a wide range of reasons, including fertility treatments. We make a point to prioritize measures that deter excessive overtime, with our overtime management team monitoring work conditions, issuing warnings, and handling related inquiries. We aim to maximize the performance of the entire organization by creating an environment in which a diverse variety of individuals can work with peace of mind and demonstrate their abilities.
Promotion of communication
MIXI has implemented a system that promotes flexible work styles centered around a fusion of remote and office work which we call Marble Work style. Considering that a lack of communication may lead employees to isolation, we implement various measures such as regular one-on-one meetings with supervisors, workshops to aid mutual understanding, and follow-up post-employment interviews for new hires. We also have a system for company-approved clubs and communities, which are subsidized by the company and encourage employees to connect and have fun together.
OTHER HEALTH-RELATED INVESTMENTS
We’ve arranged collaboration areas to encourage coffee breaks and open meeting spaces for casual conversations, fostering an environment where natural communication can flourish. In addition, we’ve rolled out height-adjustable desks in all work areas to boost employee productivity, and set up a furnished massage room with nationally certified professionals to help employees refresh both mind and body.
Comprehensive consultation services
In addition to in-house points of contact for various needs, we have established an external EAP (Employee Assistance Program) for consultation with outside specialists and dedicated points of contact for harassment* to ensure that employees are able to work with peace of mind.
*We have established an in-house contact desk staffed by HR labor staff, as well as an external contact desk staffed by lawyers.
