Aiming at both “Improvement of Skills and Engagements” and “Work Life Balance” - DOWA’s Work Life Balance

What is DOWA’s work life balance?

DOWA’s work life balance aims at both “Improvement of Skills and Engagements” and “Work Life Balance.”

Through our “engagements” in life, we strive to create the working environment where every employee can actively participate in his/her work and improve his/her quality and quantity of performance, and to continue to create a worthy cycle of contributing to the growth of the DOWA group.

Reform of Our Child Care System since 2008

We are engaged in promoting proper management of working hours and effective working as part of our work life balance.

In addition, we have enhanced our Child Care System since 2008. We expect this system will help reduce anxiety and burden of both male and female employees in connection with child care and especially for female employees in connection with child birth. We also expect it to be a strong base on which everyone can build his/her future career. We hope this system will help to create an open workplace where both long-time and newer employees can communicate and cooperate with one another.

 

【Details of Child Care System】

Working hours	To allow all employees working in-house to take advantage of the flexible time system combined with short working hours in order to create a flexible working environment
Leave	(1) To allow employees to use accumulated annual paid leave for taking care of their children
	(2) To allow for employees to take advantage of paid leave for taking care of sick children (up to five days)
Workplace	(1) Upon application from an employee and approval from the management, to be exempt from relocation with change of place of residence until his/her child becomes three years old
	(2) Upon application from an employee and approval from the management, to allow an employee to change his/her job that is specific to his/her desired area until his/her child becomes three years old.
Reinstatement system	To allow an employee who has with us three or more years and resigned due to marriage, childbirth or relocation of his/her partner to be reinstated (within seven years of resignation) if he/she has registered his/her will to come back upon resignation.
	Two courses: one for full time employees and the other for part-time workers (short working hours) Reinstatement will be accepted, considering his/her will and his/her performance during the half a year probation period.
	Terms and conditions of employment will be decided, considering his/her ability, performance and the conditions at resignation.

Move ahead on DOWA’s Work Life Balance

No one has taken advantage of this system yet, since this system has just started. We hope many employees use the system and this system will take hold in the workplace. Through operation of this system, we strive to make employees (including managers) to fully understand this system and improve the system as required.
We also hope it will help individual employees to consider their career vision by aligning it to their life design.

On the other hand, each employee has his/her own way of thinking and value on work and family. This child care system is just one example of our work and life balance efforts. We have many more issues to confront. While taking into account the value of good outside programs for our efforts in the future, we will mainly stick to the DOWA version of work life balance without being overly influenced by precedents or stereotypes.
