To improve the working environment for our staff, we have established systems that do not involve transfers, annual paid leave for half a day or hour, and regulations regarding childcare and nursing care leave to help employees balance childcare and nursing care with work, thereby creating a workplace environment that is comfortable and well-balanced. In addition, we are working to improve the working environment for female staff in terms of facilities.
