Our company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams.
This press release is the dream of "Change Wave Group Co., Ltd."
**We want to realize a society where "work-care balance" is commonplace.**
With this vision, Change Wave Group Co., Ltd. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Yuko Sasaki) is committed to corporate "work-care balance support."
In Japan, the number of "business caregivers" who work while caring for family members is expected to further increase. On the other hand, "caregiving leave"—where individuals face caregiving without sufficient preparation or knowledge and are forced to quit their jobs—remains a major social issue.
We do not want this reality to end as "unavoidable" or "a private matter."
Before precious colleagues and employees suddenly give up their careers one day.
And to realize a society where everyone can continue to work with peace of mind.
That first step is not a special initiative, but begins with "knowing" and "preparing." Change Wave Group promotes corporate work-care balance support through various initiatives, some of which are introduced below.
**■ "Work-Care Balance Handbook"**
This handbook is a guide to prevent caregiving from becoming a "career burden."
Born from over 2,000 consultation cases on work-care balance support, this single volume is not merely a commentary on systems. It compiles concrete practical knowledge for business professionals to proactively tackle work-care balance, including ways of thinking to act as a "manager" rather than a "player" in caregiving, and time management techniques to not give up on a career ten years from now. Customizable deliveries to local governments and companies, depending on the situation, are also well-received.
**■ Activities of the Excellent Care Company Club**
'Excellent Care Company Club (hereinafter, ECC Club)' is a community spanning eight months of the year, aiming to solve caregiving as an organizational issue, not an individual one. Each year, leading companies participate, accumulating a 'collective intelligence of work-care balance support' beyond industry boundaries.
