Ensure a Comfortable Work Environment
In April 2021, we established a General Employer Action Plan, based on which we promote activities to create more comfortable workplaces. By setting two paid leave days each year, designating June and December as recommended months for taking paid leave, and establishing a refreshment leave system, we have established a workplace environment that makes it easy for employees to take paid leave. In FY 2022, we introduced an attendance management system to manage attendance through visualization, and we strive to optimize working hours.
Work-Life Balance
Achieving work-life balance is essential for all employee to feel fulfilled and maximize their abilities. To achieve a comfortable work environment and job satisfaction, our group promotes various initiatives such as reducing overtime, implementing staggered working hours, and facilitating remote work.
In the future, we will continue to strive to create a flexible work environment that accommodates diverse lifestyles.
