To enable employees to work with enthusiasm in a manner that suits their lifestyles and to create a work environment where women and men alike find it easy to work, Mitsui Fudosan has developed various systems that aim to support child care and nursing care and to ensure an appropriate work-life balance.
Upon returning to work after taking child care leave and in other similar cases, a trilateral meeting between the concerned individual, the Personnel Department and his/her immediate manager is held if he/she so desires. Other occasions to think about work-life balance are also provided, including making the first, third and fifth (if there is a fifth) Wednesday of the month a no-overtime-work day and holding Mitsui Fudosan Family Day.
Furthermore, as measures to maintain and promote good health, Mitsui Fudosan has installed a Health Committee and is making such efforts as raising the percentage of employees taking regular health checkups. Efforts are also being made to improve the overall labor environment by having health nurses and industrial physicians meet with employees who are working long hours or overworking.
Moreover, Mitsui Fudosan aims to create an environment that respects the interests of the employees themselves and where they can work with peace of mind by taking such steps as ensuring coordination between the Personnel Department and the heads of the respective Groups with the Health Management Center, which houses industrial physicians and resident health nurses, when employees use reinstatement programs upon returning to work after taking long-term leave for physical or mental health reasons and in other cases.

Mitsui Fudosan has established employee conduct standards regarding human rights and has formed a Human Rights Awareness Raising Committee within the company. New employees attend training on sexual harassment, power harassment and discrimination, and a consultation counter for sexual harassment has been set up at the Personnel Department that is open 24 hours a day to take phone consultations. In fiscal 2009, a pamphlet on human rights was distributed to all employees. In this manner, Mitsui Fudosan consistently engages in other efforts to raise awareness of human rights.
Mitsui Fudosan is also mounting efforts to raise awareness of human rights throughout the entire Group by installing a Fair Employment Screening and Human Rights Awareness Raising Promotion Committee within the company and organizing Fair Employment Screening and Human Rights Awareness Raising Liaison Conferences between Group companies.

Mitsui Fudosan Family Day, an event aimed at deepening family bonds through a visit of the workplace and other activities, was held on December 19, 2009. This was the first time for the event to be held. 315 people of 106 families participated, making it a day filled with the smiles of excitement of children and the warm atmosphere of families.
Comments received from the families that participated, such as “It was a fun event from which I gained a good feel of even the atmosphere of the company,” showed that the event served as a good opportunity for employees to think about work-life balance together with their families.
