Promoting Diversity and Inclusion

Sustainability

We are committed to creating an environment that encourages diverse talents to play an active role.

Holidays/leave programs supporting a childcare and nursing care

We are striving to create a supportive work environment by providing childcare and nursing care support programs to accommodate changing and diversifying lifestyles.

Childcare Leave	We have established maternity and childcare leave programs. To promote the use of these programs, we are fostering a supportive workplace culture through childcare support payments and interviews so that employees, regardless of gender, can balance childcare and work without difficulty. In addition to these programs, we have also introduced a system of shorter hours and staggered working hours to provide a flexible work system that can be adapted to diverse lifestyles.
Nursing Care Leave	We have established a nursing care leave program as part of our efforts to prevent employees from leaving their jobs due to nursing care, which has become a social issue in recent years, and to create an environment that allows employees to balance work and nursing care.
