Identified as High-Stress in the Stress Check

Being flagged as high-stress doesn't lead to dismissal or disadvantage. A physician consultation is voluntary but recommended.

【What "high stress" means】

Based on the 57-item occupational stress questionnaire measuring: work stressors, physical/mental stress responses, and social support. Being flagged means your combined scores suggest significant stress.

【What to do next】

  1. 1.You may request a physician consultation (voluntary)
  2. 2.Contact the occupational physician (産業医) or company-designated doctor directly — not HR
  3. 3.By law (Industrial Safety and Health Act Art. 66-10), the company is prohibited from treating you unfavorably as a result

【Privacy protections】

· Your individual results are not disclosed to the company without your consent

· The high-stress designation itself is not reported to management without consent

· Only anonymized department-level aggregates are shared

【Benefits of the physician consultation】

Held during work hours at company expense. Early intervention can prevent long-term leave.
