Our Efforts to Promote the Advancement of Women

We are working to create a company where women can work comfortably, and are reviewing measures and systems for women’s advancement (support for work-life balance and career support), as well as strengthening activities to make these systems known to all employees. We are also working to create a corporate culture in which it is normal for not only women but also men to take childcare leave. We will continue our efforts to promote the further advancement of female employees.

Examples of systems we have adopted

comeback pass system

This is a system under which employees who have left the company due to unavoidable circumstances such as marriage, childbirth, childcare, nursing care, or a spouse’s transfer are preferentially rehired under certain conditions in order to make use of the knowledge, experience, and skills they have accumulated up to that point to become immediately effective employees.

Fertility treatment leave and treatment cost subsidies

This is a leave of absence that can be taken when undergoing infertility treatment, and a program that subsidizes a portion of the treatment costs for up to five years for employees who undergo infertility treatment.

limited service area system

This system limits the range of work locations in order to reduce the burden of relocating to a new residence and to provide a comfortable working environment for employees who wish to contribute to the local community, work together, raise children, or care for family members.

Introduction of “Childcare Mirai Concierge

To enable employees to work while raising children, we have introduced a matching service with company-led daycare centers.

shortened working hours for childcare

This system allows employees to work shorter hours to enable them to work while raising children.

Spousal Transfer Leave System

This system allows for up to three years of leave when it is difficult to continue working due to a spouse’s transfer or other reasons. During the leave period, a second job (limited to non-regular employment) is allowed. We will continue to promote the review and establishment of a workplace environment that allows employees to continue their career development not only during marriage, childbirth, childcare, and nursing care, but also in the event of life stage changes.

Encouragement of male employees to take childcare leave

We are focusing on expanding our childcare leave and parental leave systems to encourage male employees to participate in childcare.
