Main Initiatives (Specific Measures)
【Improving Operational Efficiency through IT】
By introducing an ICT system for childcare, we have digitized administrative tasks such as communication logs and attendance management. This has significantly increased the time we can spend focusing on the children.
【Health Check-up Participation and Follow-up】
We maintain a 100% participation rate in regular health check-ups. We actively encourage employees who require re-examination to undergo the necessary procedures.
【Maintaining Mental Health (Mental Care)】
In addition to conducting stress checks, we are fostering an open and communicative workplace by utilizing platforms such as social media.
【Promoting Work-Life Balance】
To enhance paid leave benefits, we have implemented "10 days granted upon joining the company" and "acquisition in hourly units." Furthermore, we are promoting an environment where female employees can continue to work as themselves, regardless of changes in their life stages. As part of this initiative, we have revamped and upgraded the traditional "Menstrual Leave" to "F-Leave (for Menstruation and Fertility Treatment Support)."
※Origin of "F-Leave":
Acronyms for "Female," "Future," and "Flexible."
