As Japan faces a super-aging society, companies are faced with the urgent task of securing workers by extending the retirement age. In addition, there are concerns that employee health problems such as overwork and mental health issues may lead to litigation risks, forcing corporate managers to pay more attention to the health of their employees. Against this backdrop, companies are focusing on a new management strategy called health management. Health management is considered as one of the management methods to improve corporate performance by investing in the resource of workers’ health. According to published research data, the factors that influence the health of workers on corporate performance and health management are more related to workplace climate and motivation, such as improvement of the workplace environment and work engagement, than to individual health status, such as improvement of health checkup results. It has also been reported that mental health problems in the workplace have a significant impact on presenteeism, and it is assumed that the demand for activities such as industrial stress countermeasures and group workplace improvement, which are areas in which psychologists excel, will increase in the future in companies that promote health management. This suggests that psychologists active in the industrial field will be increasingly important in the future.
