Fiscal year ended March 31, 2015Approximately Work–Life BalanceLINTEC is taking steps to curb long working hours and late-night work, including for managers, and encouraging employees to take paid leave. In addition to a planned vacation system under which employees designate in advance five days on which they will take paid leave, in 2021 we introduced an hourly leave system. Under this system, which is designed to make leave-taking more flexible, employees can take paid leave in one-hour increments. As a result of such initiatives, the percentage of paid leave taken has risen from around 51% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the year before the planned vacation system was introduced, to approximately 64% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. We also increased the number of days that could be taken for family care leave and the period during which the shorter-hours program could be used for family care. We raised the children’s age limit in regard to the use of the shorter-hours program for childcare and strove to expand various systems, including wage increases for young employees. We are also working to improve the rate of male employees taking childcare leave by reviewing the system itself and promoting understanding in the workplace. During the COVID-19 pandemic, LINTEC introduced and encouraged the use of teleworking. As this system has improved productivity and achieved a work–life balance for our employees, in October 2020 we officially included teleworking as a part of our work system. We also created a work-at-home benefit for employees that covers a portion of their utility bills and other costs associated with working from home. We focus on creating amenable working environments that suit employees’ lifestyles; for example, we strongly encourage the use of flex-time systems.In continuing and expanding business activities, creating favorable relationships with all stakeholders is indispensable. The LINTEC Group continues efforts at establishing employee-friendly workplaces, maintain-ing stable supplies of high-quality products, and strengthening partnerships with customers and suppliers.Percentage of Paid Leave TakenFiscal year ended March 31, 2022Approximately 55 Respect for Diversity and Human RightsThe LINTEC Group avoids discriminatory treatment of employees based on race, nationality, gender, age, education, creed, religion, or disability status, thereby respecting diversity. In the areas of recruitment and employment, the Group complies strictly with labor laws and regulations, including the prohibition of unfair discrimination, child labor, and harassment, and endeavors to promote an environment where all employees can go about their work in a positive and energized frame of mind. Every year, we conduct a Groupwide survey of human rights and working condi-tions. As well as checking compliance in Japan and overseas countries and regions, the surveys confirm that companies are respecting basic human rights and providing safe, healthy work-places. Furthermore, we have a helpline through which employees can consult with the General Affairs & Human Resources Division or a lawyer if they have any concerns or have witnessed illegal behavior in the workplace. Access has been extended to overseas Group companies and English-language and Chinese-language helplines are also available. Work-Style ReformsIn Japan, the working age population is currently decreasing due to a declining birthrate and an aging population. This has become a major social issue, and the government is advancing work-style reforms to support sustained growth. We are creating workplaces that are more amenable to all employees’ needs and enhancing labor productivity.Society51%64%
