Work from home and Teleworking(From June 2025)

In accordance with the "New Guidelines for Work Styles," we have implemented a work system starting in June 2025 that generally requires employees to come into the office to emphasize real-time collaboration and a sense of organizational unity. However, for employees who may face challenges continuing to work due to childcare, nursing care, maternity, injury, disability, or other reasons, we support their continued employment and performance by allowing them to work from home. Additionally, teleworking has been expanded to all employees, except those on probation, to support flexible work styles and better accommodate business activities, business trips, and off-site work. We will continue to develop a system that balances the diverse work styles of individuals with the goal of enhancing organizational productivity.
