Support for Balancing Work and Family Life
Basic Philosophy
In order to support employees who work while raising children and caring for nursing care, we will expand our childcare and nursing care-related systems, promote company-wide understanding of these systems, promote the creation of an environment in which everyone can easily use the systems, and implement measures that contribute to promoting women’s active participation not only within the company but also in society as a whole.
Suppport for balancing Work and Childcare
We are expanding our maternity, childcare, and other support systems so that employees can continue to demonstrate their abilities while balancing work and childcare. In addition, we provide various types of support, such as providing opportunities for employees to deepen their understanding of childcare and outsourcing child-care consultation functions, to create a system that enables employees and their families to consult with child-care concerns at an early stage.

Establishment of Childcare Consultation Hotline
To ensure that employees who are on childcare leave can return to work smoothly, we outsource a childcare consultation function that provides information and guidance on childcare facilities and babysitters.
Support for use of childcare and babysitter, etc.
We support the use of sick child care, daycare centers, sitter services, and other services that children can be left safely when they are sick.
Leave for childbirth of spouse
We have established a system in which spouse can take five days of leave within three months after childbirth from the date of hospitalization for childbirth.
Dissemination and enlightenment of childcare-related systems
To raise awareness of the system and promote understanding within the company, we are preparing a “Manual for Systems Related to Child-rearing Support”. We will also consider holding regular workshops for managers.
