Support for Work-life Balance, Caregiving, and Childcare
MJC strives to support each and every one of our employees to showcase their best performance at work all the while being able to fully tend to their families, working toward a harmonious coexistence of home life and work.
Based on the philosophy of increasing productivity by way of building trusting relationships with our employees, we are proactively pushing for open, mutual communications with them, encouraging the uptake of paid leave, in order to realize true work-life balance.
Supporting the Next Generation

Paternity leave uptake

We will promote creating a workplace environment in which employees can take leaves to provide childcare, regardless of gender.
Support for Caregiving and Childcare and Encouragement of Paid Leave Uptake
For caregivers and parents with preschool children, in addition to 5 days of paid leave per year specifically for providing care, we have also implemented a system that allows leave to be taken in hourly increments with shortened working hours.
We also actively encourage employees to take their paid leave. We are constantly adding implementations such as six-monthly checks by managers on leave balances to ensure that paid leave is taken.

Supplementary information on the differences
The company does not set different conditions for entry-level salaries or subsequent salary increases and promotions based on gender. However, the low proportion of female employees in management positions (6.2%) is a cause of differences in wages between male and female members.
Promotion of activities of persons with disabilities

|---|---|---|---|
| Employment rate of persons with disabilities | 2.39% | 2.31% | 2.29% |
| Required employment rate | 2.3% | 2.3% | 2.3% |
We support career development of persons with disabilities by understanding individual characteristics of their disabilities and discussing with each employee the tasks and roles that suit their aptitude. Currently, we have secured the legally mandated employment rate for persons with disabilities, but to comply with the planned increase in the legally mandated employment rate, we will further promote the development of the workplace environment and an understanding of diversity.
