Support for Both Work and Family

he number of employees utilizing maternity and childcare leave, shortened hours, and the flextime system for childcare is increasing. As such, we started the mom/dad supporter system run by our employee volunteers in fiscal 2013 to offer support beyond physical systems. We conduct activities to support employees balance work and childcare such as: round table talks for employees raising children and superiors; lunch session for information sharing and consultations; individual consultations, etc. We have also established a division specialized in promoting work-life balance. This division supports management training, activities aimed at raising awareness, and diverse workstyles.Seminars to support employees returning to work after maternity and childcare leave have been held twice a year since May 2012, with a cumulative of 308 employees participating.
