Initiatives
-
Health and Safety
We believe that supporting employees’ optimal mental and physical health is a foundation that allows them to demonstrate their full potential at all times. We actively work to provide an environment where employees can work with peace of mind by providing not only social insurance but also income protection insurance, life insurance, and other safety nets to protect them against unexpected events.
-
Childcare and Nursing Care
We have implemented a number of programs and systems to allow employees to continue working productively during life events such as childbirth, childcare, and nursing care. Our programs are extensive and go beyond legislated obligations with an extended age range for covering child nursing care leave and shortened work hours for childcare.
-
Creating a Fulfilling Environment Where Employees Can Feel Job Satisfaction
We believe that valuing fulfilling work and a stable life is a responsibility that companies have to their employees. As a company that supports self-actualization, we continuously work to realize a work environment in which individuals can challenge their goals with as much flexibility as possible under existing laws and regulations.
-
Establishment of a General Counseling Service
An independent General Counseling Service has been established under the chairperson of the Health and Productivity Management Committee. Its aim is to ensure effective counseling for those requiring it while gathering the opinions of employees.
