The WellBe Group, founded in Japan in 1992, is a comprehensive risk management company specializing in supporting Japanese corporations and their expatriate employees operating overseas. The group's origins trace back to 1994 with the launch of the "WellBe Medic Service," a membership-based medical assistance program for Japanese residents in Shanghai, China.
At the core of the group's business is a robust support system designed to prepare for unforeseen circumstances abroad. WellBe operates a Japanese-language alarm center 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In the event of a sudden illness or accident, the center provides prompt and precise responses, including referrals to the most suitable local medical institutions, arrangement of medical interpreters, and, when necessary, emergency medical evacuation to Japan or a third country.
However, the scope of WellBe's services extends beyond emergency response. The company is also dedicated to preventative care and routine health management to ensure expatriates and their families can live abroad with peace of mind. Specifically, WellBe partners with high-quality local medical facilities to offer comprehensive health check-up services with Japanese language support. This helps alleviate health concerns in an unfamiliar environment and contributes to the early detection of serious illnesses.
From a risk finance perspective, the group also designs and arranges overseas travel insurance as well as local medical and accident insurance tailored to the specific circumstances of each country. This supports client companies in establishing their employee welfare programs and managing costs effectively.
The WellBe Group's greatest strengths are its extensive network, built primarily across Asia, and the expertise it has cultivated over more than 30 years. Currently serving approximately 16,000 corporate clients and 80,000 individual members, the company continues to support the global endeavors of Japanese businesses by acting as a vital infrastructure that protects the "safety, health, and peace of mind" of Japanese professionals working abroad.
