Basic Approach
We believe it is very important to conduct business activities while respecting the various ways of thinking of diverse human resources. We will continue to work on establishing an environment in which employees can work in diverse ways for sustainable growth in the future.
Main Actions
Supporting work-life balance
We go beyond regulatory standards in supporting employees who are pregnant or have childcare or eldercare commitments. One example of our support for such employees is a short-time scheme in which employees can take time off at the start and end of the working day. Another example is our work-from home program. We also encourage men to take childcare leave by informing them about the support programs and following them up. In November 2009, we were officially recognized as an organization that supports employees with childcare commitments.
Our flextime system is a further example of our efforts to improve employee well-being and work-life balance.
Promoting an increase in the employment of people with disabilities in the group
Prima Meat Packers, Ltd. established a special subsidy called Prima Luca Co., Ltd. with the investment of Unzen in Nagasaki Prefecture in April 1995 as a business establishment that employs many people with severe disabilities. We recognize that increasing the employment of people with disabilities is a very important issue for consideration. Accordingly, we will continue to select occupations that allow us to accept people with disabilities in the future. At the same time, we will continue to work on accepting them in our branch offices and plants.
