Initiatives to Women’s Active Roles and Balancing Work with Childcare
In order to promote an increase in the number of female managers and engagement of male employees in childcare, we have been undertaking relevant activities, such as providing training to promote the career formation of women and engagement of men in housework and childcare, and offering childcare and nursing care leave systems, among others.
Management Targets Related to Women’s Active Roles and Childcare
More than triple the number of female managers in FY 2025 compared to FY2014
*Percentage of male employees taking childcare leave and short-term leave for childcare as stipulated in the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Act on Childcare Leave, Caregiver Leave, and Other Measures for the Welfare of Workers Caring for Children or Other Family Members
Career Development for Women
- Expansion of career options for women
- Training to promote career growth during the child-rearing life stage
- Job assignments and rotations that take into account medium-to-long-term career development
Promotion of Men's Participation in Housework and Child-Rearing
- To help employees realize an even better work-life balance through the balancing of work with childcare, a new “Parental Leave for Balancing Work and Parenting” was established. It has better benefits than the parental leave required by law and allows employees to work while they are on leave.
- An email encouraging employees to take parental leave is sent to male employees who’ve just had children and their superiors.
