GLM Introduces "Leave of Absence Support System" to Provide Monthly Allowances to Employees Supporting Colleagues on Leave

Global Link Management Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Daejoong Kim; TSE Prime: 3486; hereinafter "GLM") has introduced a support system called the "Leave of Absence Support System." This system provides allowances to employees who support the duties of colleagues taking leave, with the aim of promoting a culture that encourages balancing childcare/nursing care with work.

Background and Purpose of Introduction GLM has consistently encouraged the use of maternity leave, childcare leave, congratulatory payments for childbirth, special leave for childbirth, and nursing care leave, thereby supporting employees who aim to balance childcare/nursing care with work. Furthermore, by respecting work-life balance and implementing flexible work hours and telecommuting, GLM has promoted the development of an environment where employees can thrive long-term. These efforts are part of human capital investment aimed at sustainable growth and enhancing corporate value.

Through these initiatives, GLM is steadily creating an environment where employees can easily take leave for childcare or nursing care and continue working with peace of mind. However, when an employee takes leave due to childcare or nursing care, the cooperation of other employees who adjust and support their duties is indispensable. In light of this situation, GLM has now introduced a system to provide a monthly allowance to employees who support the duties previously handled by colleagues on leave.

Overview of the Leave of Absence Support System Under this system, when an employee takes leave for a certain period due to childcare or nursing care, a monthly allowance will be provided to non-managerial employees who support the duties of the absent employee. The allowance amount is not fixed but will be individually determined based on the actual content of the work support and the burden, and will be paid for a limited period (or up to one year).

GLM's Initiatives in Human Capital Management As its Group Mission, the GLM Group upholds "Creating Future Value through Investment" and clearly positions "proactive investment in people and business" as one of the growth strategies in its 2025 Mid-Term Management Plan "GLM100." Specifically, GLM aims for a fair and equitable personnel evaluation system, regularly reviews its evaluation system, and is expanding its incentive programs.

By continuously and actively implementing various measures, GLM aims to enhance employee engagement and improve sales per employee and profit. Through these efforts, GLM strives to achieve the industry's No. 1 average annual salary and work towards realizing its Group Philosophy and Group Policy "GLM1000."
