Creating a Pleasant Work Environment

Ensuring employee health and safety

● Safety and Health Activities

We have established a safety and health committee at each of our major business offices. In addition to having committee members conduct safety patrols at the business offices, we are committed to eliminating occupational injuries and improving the working environment. In FY 2022, the number of occupational accidents (excluding cases without lost workdays) was 0, and the occupational accident frequency rate* was 0.

Promotion of Mental Healthcare

As a countermeasure to mental health problems, we have introduced a mental healthcare system for employees and their families. In addition to conducting monthly stress diagnoses that help employees verify their own conditions, we have established telephone, web, and in-person points of contact for consultation. We also carry out mental health management training, and other similar activities. Every year, all employees underwent a stress check based on a revision of the law.

Towards more flexible working styles

To allow employees to work flexibly according to their working style, in addition to introducing a super flex time system and at-home work system, scheduled paid leave-taking system, nursing care system, and other systems, we have also made other improvements such as establishing “everyone leaves work together” days (no overtime days).

Labor‐Management Relations

We maintain healthy labor-management relations with the labor union based on mutual trust and under a labor agreement, and work on various labor-management issues on an equal-to-equal basis. We also hold monthly labor-management meetings to exchange information and opinions.

Welfare Benefits

In order to respond to the diverse needs of our employees and with the aim to provide a more equitable welfare service, we have introduced the "Cafeteria Plan," a selective employee welfare system whose options can be chosen by the employees according to their own needs. A diverse menu, which includes categories such as childcare, nursing, learning, and travel, presents available discount services and more.
Also, in order to encourage employees to build their own assets, the company offers a fixed-rate incentive based on the amount of money they put away in their asset accumulation savings plans as well as on members' contributions for the employee stock holding association.
The company has also introduced a GLTD (Group Long Term Disability) system that ensures a certain level of income in the event that an employee is unable to work for a prolonged period due to illness or injury.
