Assessment

Primary outcomes

As it is an exploratory study of evaluating the model, multiple evaluation items are set.
1. Psychological Indicators: Work engagement (UWES: Utrecht Work Engagement Scale) score, Job and family satisfaction (work stress questionnaire)
2. Labor Productivity: Presentism / absentism (WHO-HPQ, short version) score
3. Sleep improvement: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
4. Health literacy: HLS-EU-Q47 Japanese version, Degree of interest one's own body: Likert scale (0 to 10)
5. Behavior change indicators: Frequency rate of using IoT and changes in values
6. Physiological Indicators (collected by IoT): blood pressure, body weight
7. Qualitative evaluation of this model: Interviews and observation: progress of the health and productivity management, evaluation of this model, attainment rate of health-checkup, improvement of health checkup results/number of medical treatment needy/who made a hospital visits/without hospital visits employees

Results

Due to COVID-19, it was difficult to work with the company, and they were forced to significantly reduce sales and suspend business. As a result, no significant improvement was observed, but as a result of each company's efforts, and efforts to maintain the physical and mental health of employees, the baseline condition was maintained.
