Promoting Diverse Work Styles
We promote flexible ways of working in order to both enable our employees to lead healthy and fulfilling lives and to promote diversity.
Concretely speaking, we encourage a hybrid work style that combines working from home and working in the office, aiming to maximize work results while leveraging the respective advantages of working from home and working in the office, and supporting a balance between employees' work and private lives.
In addition, with regard to childcare, we have set the rate of male employees taking childcare leave as one of our key performance indicators, and we are working to improve this rate by monitoring the take-up rate at meetings between labor and management.
