The Joshin Group is improving workplace environments so that all employees can enjoy rich private and work lives, regardless of their gender, age, or physical ability, and regardless of whether they are providing childcare or nursing care, or making use of our shorter working hours system. These initiatives include, for example, the introduction of a system in 2002 that allows employees to choose the personnel course that best matches their career plans, and to select a work location that ensures an effective work-life balance.
In addition, once a year, we survey all employees on their course selection preferences, and assign personnel according to the data that we gather. As our data shows, the average number of years of continuous employment for permanent employees is long and turnover is low. However, there is a gender gap in these results that must be addressed, so we are focusing on providing support that helps female employees maintain long-term employment.
