What It Is

こころチェッカー is an online stress check system provided by 株式会社ジェイテック. Its positioning is very clear: it helps Japanese companies comply with the Stress Check Program under the Industrial Safety and Health Act, which came into effect in December 2015. It is not a general-purpose HR SaaS product, but a compliance-focused tool centered on employee stress checks, result feedback, and support for group-level analysis.

Core Features and Compliance

The product emphasizes full compliance with national standards and supports the 57-item “職業性ストレス簡易調査票” recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Employees can complete the questionnaire on a PC, smartphone, tablet, or other device, view their results immediately on screen after submission, and choose whether to notify the employer of the results. The system also supports aggregated group analysis, helping identify workplace stress factors and drive improvements in the work environment. According to the FAQ, employee information can be imported in bulk using a specified CSV format, and data can also be exported as CSV before the contract period ends.

Pricing and Service Scope

Pricing is relatively transparent: a base fee of 40,000 JPY/year, plus 250 JPY/year per employee. The annual fee is 52,500 JPY for 50 employees and 65,000 JPY for 100 employees. Contracts are annual and generally renew automatically. Stress checks can be conducted an unlimited number of times during the contract period. Additional employees are billed in the final month of the contract, while reductions in headcount are not refunded. The text does not mention a free trial or free plan.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are strong alignment with the legal framework, lightweight implementation, and low per-user cost, making it suitable for companies that only need to complete the legally required stress checks in Japan. Multi-device access and instant feedback also lower the barrier for employee participation. The drawbacks are limited disclosure around enterprise-grade capabilities: there is no visible information on APIs, third-party integrations, granular permissions, audit logs, encryption, or security certifications. In addition, the service does not provide occupational physician dispatch or referrals, so companies need to arrange follow-up interviews and medical-resource coordination separately.

Who It’s For and Access from China

This product is best suited to small and mid-sized companies operating in Japan, HR/general affairs teams, or implementation owners that need to conduct legally required stress checks. If a Chinese company only needs Chinese-language employee wellness, survey, or EAP management, this Japanese-language, Japan-regulation-oriented product is likely to be a limited fit. The text does not provide information on access from mainland China, and payment methods are not disclosed. Local alternatives such as 北森, Moka, 钉钉, 飞书, 企业微信, or health management service providers may be worth evaluating first.
