Initiative Policy to Introduce Diverse Workstyles
Our GROUP DNA is the meaning of "&", based on the idea that "to generate new value through cooperation, coexistence and co-creation, we forge ahead, innovating." The Company takes workstyle reform as a key initiative, and is building an organization that allows personnel with diverse values, skills, and lifestyles to fully realize their individual capabilities. This will enable us to respond to dramatically changing social needs and create new value. In addition, Mitsui Fudosan is improving work efficiency in all business divisions, thereby reducing employee working hours, and promoting an optimal balance between life and work. We believe appropriate work-life balance ensures a more fulfilling private life for employees, and is very effective for encouraging self-improvement and balancing work with child or family care. As a result, a workplace environment is established enabling diverse employees to fully realize their individual abilities, and this helps us create superior value and achieve sustained growth for our Group.

Platinum Kurumin Certification is a special certification granted to companies that, among companies that support the raising of children, have made significant progress in the introduction and uptake of systems to support work-life balance and that have undertaken initiatives of an even higher level. We obtained Platinum Kurumin certification in recognition of our ongoing achievement of 100% uptake of childcare leave by male employees and our promotion of initiatives to help our employees balance their work with family life, including raising children.

To support work-life balance of employees engaged in family care, we are developing an environment that includes a remote work system and a system for subsidizing the costs of family care. In addition, our Care Design Department, which supports lifestyles in later life, collaborates with the Personnel Department to hold Care Seminars for employees and their families, and offer care consulting courtesy of a qualified specialist in family care. Employees can also take care leave of up to a year in parts, which is longer than the statutory requirement.
