Creating a Comfortable Work Environment
Basic Approach
The working environment has changed greatly due to the diversification of work values, an increase in dual-income households, and labor shortages caused by the declining birthrate and aging population. Against such a backdrop, we implement initiatives to improve employee motivation and to realize diverse workstyles.
Work-Life Balance
To realize work-life balance, we have introduced and are appropriately operating the following systems.
Expansion of Work-from-Home System
In April 2019, we introduced a work-from-home system with the aim of supporting diverse work styles according to the individual circumstances of each employee. In addition to increasing the provision of company-paid mobile phones and equipment for web conferencing, we enhanced our remote working systems through measures such as establishing a new work-from-home allowance. As a result, we are providing an environment where many employees can choose increasingly flexible working styles while maintaining their productivity.
Promoting the Use of Paid Leave
Our labor-management target is for employees to take an average of 14 or more days of paid leave. In addition to the two planned paid leave days per year set out in the labor-management agreement, we encourage employees to take long vacations by promoting the middle day between consecutive holidays as a day to take paid leave. Moreover, we encourage employees to take paid leave in conjunction with summer and winter holidays. In FY2023, the average number of days of paid leave taken annually by all employees was 13.8.
