When Mothers Shine, Children Shine, and Japan's Future Shines

Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is the dream of "Secretary Inc.: Mama Secretary®."

"Mama Secretary®," operated by Secretary Inc. (Nerima-ku, Tokyo https://secretary.co.jp/), is a new work style that allows mothers to stay connected to society and pursue their careers without giving up, even while raising children.

We aim to connect to the next generation by increasing the number of mothers who can say, "It's not because I'm a mom, but because I am me."

■ Background | Mothers Giving Up Their Careers

Many mothers are forced to give up the careers they have built due to childbirth and childcare.

They truly want to work.
They want to utilize their abilities.

Even with these desires, many mothers cannot take the first step due to time and environmental constraints.

"I lack confidence." "I feel I don't have enough skills." "I'm worried about balancing family and work." With such thoughts, there is a current situation where possibilities are being closed off.

We want to change that situation.

■ What is Mama Secretary®?

Mama Secretary® is a new work style where mothers raising children can work primarily from home, leveraging their skills and experience to thrive.

They can work flexibly according to their lifestyle, without being tied to time or place, and maintain a connection with society.

It's a choice that allows you to value both "family and career," not "family or career." That is Mama Secretary®.

■ The Future We Envision

We aim to realize a society where:

・Mothers do not give up their careers. ・Childcare and work can be naturally balanced. ・"Working authentically" is the norm.

A future where the Mama Secretary® work style is not something special, but a choice everyone knows.

We believe that a society where mothers can choose their own lives without giving up leads to a richer future for their children as well.

We are serious about realizing this dream.

■ Future Developments

Going forward, to further popularize Mama Secretary®:

・Expansion of training programs ・Provision of learning and practical opportunities ・Formation of communities

We will promote these initiatives and create an environment where mothers can take the first step with confidence.

■ Representative's Comment

Being forced to give up one's life due to childcare.

I want to change that situation.

I feel that it should be natural for mothers to work authentically, not something special.

By seeing such mothers, children will also feel the joy of growing up, won't they?

【When mothers shine, children shine, and Japan's future shines】

Through Mama Secretary®, we will spread a society where "the choice not to give up on one's life" is possible.

Aiming for a future where as many mothers as possible can live authentically.
