For a company to grow, it is important to create an environment in which employees can bring out the best of their capacity. Besides establishing a work environment, a work/life balance aimed at ensuring harmony between work and one’s personal life is indispensable. Based on these objectives, in addition to establishing dormitories for single employees and company housing, we have also introduced the “Life Plan Support Lump-Sum Payment Scheme” and the “Welfare Program Select Plan.” In these ways, we are endeavoring to upgrade our welfare programs that accommodate the needs of employees in each stage of life.

In April 2007, we were certified as a compliant employer based on the Law for Measures to Support the Development of the Next Generation.
In January 2010 we established the “Tokyo Head Office Contracted Childcare Service System,” helping employees who work in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area – where long waiting lists for childcare centers are a particular problem – to balance work and childcare.
