Murata: A trusted partner in vitality for nearly ten years

Who is Murata?

Murata Hoofddorp is part of the international Murata organization, known worldwide as a leading manufacturer of electronic components. From its location in Hoofddorp, the company plays an important role within this innovative, technical sector.

A long-standing partnership since 2016

The partnership between Murata and Simple Check began in 2016, shortly after a major change within the organization. It was an exciting time, during which paying extra attention to employees was by no means a luxury. The first Health Check proved so valuable—and, in some areas, so essential to making structural changes—that Murata has been conducting Health Checks on a regular basis ever since.

A dedicated point of contact with knowledge of the organization

At Murata, the initial contact is always made through Talitha Rijken, a Sustainable Employability Consultant at Simple Check. Thanks to their long-standing collaboration, she now knows the organization inside and out, which allows her to quickly develop a tailored proposal that meets Murata’s current needs.

Awareness and Good Employment Practices

Once again this year, Simple Check visited Murata. The goal: to offer employees another Health Check to continue raising awareness about vitality and employability. At the same time, Murata is taking concrete steps to demonstrate its commitment to being a good employer.

The Health Check consists of a combination of physical tests, conducted in Simple Check’s mobile unit, and an online questionnaire. This provides a comprehensive understanding of employees’ health and vitality, addresses occupational risks, and gives employees concrete tools to take action on their own. All employees are invited to participate.

“At Murata, English is the working language, and that’s not a problem for us at all. From communication to the testing itself and follow-up actions: we can handle everything entirely in English. Since I speak English well myself, our interactions go smoothly, and it feels just as familiar to Murata as it does to our Dutch-speaking customers.”

From Insight to Targeted Action

And for Murata, it certainly doesn’t stop at just measuring. Based on the results, targeted interventions are regularly offered that address the specific needs of the organization—focusing on a healthy lifestyle and mental well-being. In addition, the program includes a Preventive Medical Examination (PMO), which ensures that Murata also complies with the legal requirements in this area.

In conclusion

From its inception in 2016 to a long-term partnership spanning nearly a decade: Murata demonstrates how a Health Check can become an integral part of a healthy and dynamic human resources policy.
