Various systems and measures to create a comfortable working environment

Labor-management relations

We keep track of our employees' working hours and internally disclose the overtime hours in each department. In addition, to curb overwork, the Human Resources Section issues an alarm to employees who are approaching the overtime limit and guides improvements.

Furthermore, from the perspective of employee safety considerations, when a certain number of consecutive work days are reached, in addition to alert notifications on the work schedule screen, employees are encouraged to secure their days off.

With the labor union, in addition to regular labor-management consultations, we hold labor-management study sessions on specific themes to deepen understanding and discussion of issues, thereby building good labor-management relations.
