Programs Supporting Flexible Work Styles
Assistance Programs Related to Childbirth and Child Rearing
In addition to providing female employees with childbirth and child rearing leave, we encourage male employees to take childbirth leave and to otherwise take advantage of leave granted to them to help them play their part in child rearing.
Assistance Programs Related to Nursing Care
These programs are designed to enable employees engaged in nursing care to continue working without becoming overburdened. By doing so, we strive to ensure that no one feels compelled to resign involuntarily due to the need to provide nursing care.
Ryobi Nursery School
For more than 50 years, Ryobi has endeavored to create an environment that allows employees engaged in child rearing to work with confidence by providing a robust facility that can be entrusted with their children. Ryobi Nursery School was thus established in 1967 as a project undertaken by the Company's employee mutual aid association. Currently, the facility is managed by Ryobi Life Services Ltd. and, as a certified licensed nursery school, it also accommodates children who are not members of Ryobi employee families.
Hiring New High School Graduates with Disabilities and Supporting Their Career Development
We regularly hire new graduates from special-needs high schools. Once they become a part of our workforce, we provide them with career development assistance while periodically confirming their status with regard to work and personal growth to ensure that they are finding their jobs rewarding and leading fulfilling lives.
Empowering Seniors via the Introduction of Diverse Work Styles
We provide employees with career design education, briefings on retirement benefits, public pensions and wages for rehired employees, and otherwise extend support to help them choose optimal career options. These measures are intended to help employees discover a sense of fulfillment throughout the course of their lifelong career journeys. Furthermore, we have introduced reemployment systems that allow employees who have reached retirement age but have opted to apply for rehiring to flexibly choose from work style options ranging from positions involving full-time working hours to those with reduced working hours, such as half-day or half-week (three days per week) attendance, based on their lifestyles.
