Human capital development and work-style reform through Smart Work 2020

「We began operating a new personnel treatment system reflecting diverse working arrangements, while seeking to provide treatment appropriate to employees' duties and roles. To improve engagement, we are promoting dialogue between officers and supervisors and employees, and strengthening communication among management personnel.」

「We formulated the Guidelines for Action in Response to the Novel Coronavirus and have continued encouraging infection-prevention measures that put employee health and safety first, including avoiding the Three Cs and reducing the number of employees reporting to work outside factory areas by 70%. We have also sought to minimize the impact on business activities by continuing operations at all domestic factories in accordance with the guidelines.」

「Based on Smart Work 2020, the action plan, we are focusing on operational reform through the use of RPA and other measures, while also institutionalizing reductions in overtime hours and measures to promote the use of paid leave in response to tighter regulations. To achieve diversity, we are implementing various measures, including childcare and nursing-care support, and working to create an environment that is easy to work in.」

「To address work-style reform, we formulated Smart Work 2020 as a new action plan and will focus on improving productivity through production-process reform, investment in rationalized equipment and the use of RPA. To achieve diversity, we will also implement various measures, including childcare and nursing-care support, so that employees can choose flexible and appropriate working arrangements, and will work to create an environment that is easy to work in.」
