Key Points of Certification (Our Initiatives)
1. Enhancement of welfare systems to support a work environment where diverse employees can thrive
We provide support by combining multiple welfare systems to create an environment where diverse employees can work comfortably according to their individual circumstances.
We have established the 'YOU-Kyu' special leave system, the 'Fun Fund' to encourage interaction among employees, and a workation system in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, where our second base is located, enabling flexible use based on work styles. These systems are reviewed and updated in line with changes in the social environment and work styles, based on usage data and employee feedback.
2. Utilization of welfare benefits to support work styles tailored to life stages
To ensure that every employee can work in a healthy, authentic, and fulfilling manner, we provide support for employees balancing work with childcare, nursing care, and medical treatment.
Through our full-flex system, we have created an environment where employees can flexibly adjust their workload and working hours. Additionally, even during leave periods, we provide opportunities for dialogue with supervisors upon request, which helps reduce anxiety regarding career continuity and supports their eventual return to the workplace.
3. Development and integration of our unique welfare systems into the workplace
We are promoting the development and integration of unique welfare systems to ensure that employees can work with peace of mind without feeling hindered by physical or mental health issues.
As part of this, we established the 'YOU-Kyu' special leave system, which can be used by all employees—regardless of gender—for menstrual issues, gynecological visits, fertility treatments, and menopause treatment. By making menstrual leave, which was previously unpaid, a paid benefit and conducting mandatory seminars for all employees on menstruation, we have deepened understanding and fostered a culture where employees feel comfortable taking leave when they are unwell rather than pushing themselves.
Future Outlook
We believe that welfare initiatives are not an end in themselves, but rather a process of continuous improvement aimed at building an organization where employees can work vibrantly and maximize their performance.
Moving forward, we will continue to establish new benefits, expand existing ones, and improve operations based on usage trends and changes in the social environment, thereby promoting an environment where diverse employees can continue to work effectively.
