[April Dream] Towards a society where 'life stage changes' are not a handicap. M.D.B. envisions a future where all women can continue to shine at their 'own rhythm'.

Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams.

This press release represents the dream of M.D.B. Co., Ltd.

M.D.B. Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Shoma Morioka), a web production company based in Osaka, declares its commitment to creating a future where all women facing life stage changes such as marriage, childbirth, childcare, and nursing care can continue to connect with society at their own pace, without having to give up their careers.

Through the "Watashi Rhythm" project, launched today, we aim to realize a society where "mutual understanding" circulates, rather than "apology."

We want to make the misconception that "pregnant women are difficult to work with" a thing of the past.

Our dream is a future where society as a whole accepts life stage changes not as a "career disruption" but as a positive "adaptation to change."

In society until now, when sudden time off was needed due to morning sickness, childcare, or nursing care, a sense of guilt — "I'm sorry to inconvenience others" — inevitably accompanied it. As a web production company, we aim to leverage our communication capabilities to break down these psychological barriers.

Steps to bring dreams to fruition

To ensure this dream is not just an ideal, we will promote the following three initiatives through the "Watashi Rhythm" project:

1. Communication to companies: We will demonstrate that supporting life stage changes is an investment that builds a "Win-Win" relationship for companies, and we will disseminate this message to society.

2. Support for individuals: We will foster the "Watashi Rhythm" community to prevent emotional isolation and share information, creating a space where each individual can affirm their own rhythm.

3. Internal reform: As an "Osaka City Leading Company for Women's Empowerment," we will evolve our systems from the "creation" stage to the "refinement for easier use" stage, including limited flex-time and performance-based bonus systems, to become a true model case.

The project team's passion for their "dream"

We believe that the attitude of both sides — those who wish for a comfortable working environment and companies that wish to establish systems — communicating and understanding each other's situations will become the standard for a new era.

On April 1st a few years from now, M.D.B. will take the lead in shaping a warm society where we can laugh and say, "It's hard to believe there were people who struggled with life stage changes back then."

[To Media Professionals]

*The following is special information limited to media professionals. Please refrain from disclosing information on personal social media, etc.

This matter addresses a highly social theme: how to balance "women's career continuity" and "corporate growth" amidst challenges such as a declining birthrate and labor shortages.

• "Watashi Rhythm" born from real experience

How a web production company leverages its communication capabilities for social contribution, triggered by the personal and urgent experience of "morning sickness."

• A mechanism to transform "apology" into "mutual understanding"

Specific measures to "prevent turnover" that can be introduced even by SMEs, such as achievements as an Osaka City Leading Company for Women's Empowerment, limited flex-time, and performance-based bonus systems.

• A web production company's challenge to visualize intangible assets

Why professionals who create "visible forms" like websites focus on communicating the invisible values (human capital) of "work styles" and "ways of life."

We are actively accepting interviews with Representative Director Shoma Morioka. Please take this opportunity to contact us.
