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 Male Employees Taking 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

*Percentage of male employees taking childcare leave and short-term leave for childcare exceeds 100% because some spouses gave birth in the previous fiscal year and their husbands took childcare leave in the current fiscal year.

Career Development for Women

  • Expansion of career options for women
  • Assignments and rotations that take mid- to long-term development into consideration
  • Training to promote growth during the child care period
  • Training aimed at fostering awareness of career development and improving management skills

Support for Balancing Work and Family Life

  • To help employees realize an even better work-life balance through the balancing of work with childcare, a new "childcare leave for Balancing Work and Childcare" was established. It has better benefits than the childcare leave required by law and allows employees to work while they are on leave.
  • An email encouraging employees to take childcare leave is sent to male employees who've just had children and their superiors.
  • Interviews with male employees taking childcare leave are regularly posted on the intranet.
