Counselling

Department store employees often face significant customer service pressures. In 2023, SKM HQ and department stores planned and provided various mental health promotion and care measures to target their specific needs. These included inviting occupational specialists for counseling services, organizing mental and physical health seminars and courses, and conducting a psychological health survey among all employees. High-risk individuals identified from this survey were targeted for additional support, including improvement plans, medical assistance, and health monitoring. The goal is to enhance the mental health of 50% of sub-healthy employees participating in these activities by 2025, continuing to strengthen employees' mental and physical health through various health promotion and care measures.

Health Activities

SKM promotes some health activities to provide relevant information, such as fat burning, strength training, aerobic exercises, relaxation and stretching yoga to create a healthy workplace.

The Million Steps Walking Event

Considering that the majority of SKM HQ employees work at a desk and may experience problems associated with prolonged sitting and lack of exercise, SKM rewards employees for participating in the walking event, aiming to promote the establishment of self-management and workout habits. Held from September to October 2023, the Million Steps Walking Event attracted 176 participants who completed a total of 9,521,009 steps, which is equivalent to 5,713 kilometers and 1,352kg of reduced carbon emissions. After the event, SKM surveyed participants on how the event was organized (total monthly steps taken), impacts, and satisfaction levels. The survey revealed a staggering 85.8% satisfaction rate, where the participants reported that the walk event had positive impacts on their sleep quality and mood.

Workplace Maternity Protection Program

Female employees who are pregnant, within one year postpartum, breastfeeding, or of childbearing age and have concerns about workplace health and their own needs can apply for the program. Once approved, occupational safety and health personnel and medical staff will visit the individual's work environment, assess and classify risks using the Workplace Hazard Assessment and Maternal Health Protection Measures form. Individuals are required to fill out the Self-Assessment Form of Health Status for Workers who are Pregnant or within One Year Postpartum and arrange for occupational health consultations. If work or working hours need to be adjusted according to the assessment, the wishes of the individual should be respected, and the outcome and measures should be communicated to them.
