DUSKIN Establishes "Partnership System"

DUSKIN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Suita City, Osaka; President: Hiroyuki Okubo) established a new human resources system, the "Partnership System," on April 1 (Wednesday), which applies the same welfare benefits as spouses to same-sex partners of employees, as part of its efforts to create an environment where each employee can exercise their abilities. We will continue to work towards creating a workplace where everyone can work with peace of mind and demonstrate their strengths. Background and Reason for Introduction At our company, we believe that employees with diverse careers and social backgrounds (gender, age, nationality, lifestyle, etc.) respecting each other and maximizing their individual abilities leads to the creation of new value and competitive advantage. Based on this idea, we have positioned the promotion of diversity, equity & inclusion as an important measure and have been gradually improving the working environment. In recent years, family structures and lifestyles have diversified, and there is a demand for creating a working environment where employees can make choices that suit them. In light of these social changes, we have decided to introduce the "Partnership System" as part of our efforts to create a workplace where employees can work with peace of mind and demonstrate their abilities. System Overview The "Partnership System" allows employees who submit a partnership declaration certificate issued by a local government to use various systems (※) in the same way as spouses. (※Excluding those difficult to apply under laws and our company's human resources regulations)
