“Health and Productivity Management” implies enhancing employee well-being. Therefore, health promotion measures (HPM) and career development support system ( CDSS ) constitute Health and Productivity Management. Therefore, career consulting and career development training programs are important human resource management (HRM) practices in Health and Productivity Management. The purpose of this article is to examine the logic of complementary relationship between HPM and CDSS from the viewpoint of strategic HRM. We interviewed section managers from three companies selected for the Health & Productivity Stock Selection program” in FY2018 conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in Japan. We found that these three companies were trying to match their diversity strategy, HPM, and CDSS. We also found “inclusion,” “self-awareness of self-reliance,” and “employmentability” as the logic behind enhancing the configurational fit between HPM and CDSS. Thus, the complementary relationship between HPM and CDSS has a positive effect on employee well-being and organizational performance.
