Quoted from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare website
All workers must take this training!
If you haven't done so yet, please let the company know.
I understand you're busy, but after all, you can only do your job if you're in good health.
At Enta, all employees aged 40 and older undergo a comprehensive health checkup.
Not a routine health checkup, but a comprehensive health screening.
I've also included some tests that I'm particularly concerned about.
After all, middle-aged guys—myself included—are, in a sense, at risk of developing health problems, so early detection and early treatment are key!
If possible, I’d like to have all the male employees over 40 undergo a comprehensive health checkup at least once every six months, lol.
We know a lot about slopes.
But I don't know the first thing about what's inside the body.
Let the machines (like MRI and CT) take a good look at your body, and let's keep doing our best starting tomorrow!
See you later.
