Promoting registered temporary staffs' health with Fitbit
Pasona launches a walking club, Walk with PASONA, in April

TOKYO, March 18, 2015 - Pasona will utilize the wireless-enabled wearable device Fitbit and establish a club, Walk with PASONA, in April aimed to promote Pasona's registered temporary staffs' health by encouraging members to walk.

"Health Management" or management that takes into account employees' health is in the spotlight. Companies are aiming to improve work efficiency and stimulate the organization by creating a healthy environment for employees. To realize this, companies are taking measures to improve employees' adult diseases and mental sickness as well as promoting fitness programs.

Pasona provides over 900,000 fringe benefit menus for our "expert staff" (registered temporary staff). The Company also has a representative specialized in health issues, as well as operates a relaxation salon which provides aroma massages and manicures, and conduct seminars on health to support the livelihood of our expert staff.

In line with these initiatives, Pasona will establish a community in April called Walk with PASONA to become healthy and fit through walking and using the wireless-enabled wearable device "Fitbit."

Fitbit tracks daily activities such as the number of steps walked and quality of sleep. Members of the community can also download the apps and compete with other members on the number of steps walked. The community will provide the wearable Fitbit to some members who wish to use the device as well as high performers of the walking competition. The community will also conduct seminars regarding walking and other health related issues.

Pasona plans to establish other clubs that promote health such as "food", "running" and "yoga." The Company's goal is to promote our expert staffs' health awareness and support an active life both physically and mentally.
