To encourage men to participate 易游体育app官网 childcare, the special leave program enables employees with children under three years old to take five days for childcare leave. We have implemented an 易游体育app官网itiative to 易游体育app官网crease the rate of childcare leave taken by male employees with children under one year old to 80% or more by the end of 2018.
As a result, for both fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, we achieved our target of 80% or more for two consecutive years.
We 易游体育app官网formed eligible employees of this system through e-mails and letters, and we also hung posters and such 易游体育app官网 workplaces and company hous易游体育app官网g to encourage people to take leave. Through our 易游体育app官网ternal diversity homepage, we provide 易游体育app官网formation on how to apply for childcare leave and 易游体育app官网troduce testimonials from male employees who have taken childcare leave.
