Eltes Co.,Ltd. has established systems designed to maximise individual performance and presents examples of employees who have continued to thrive across multiple departments after taking maternity and childcare leave. The article shows how flexible working arrangements, including flexible working hours, working from home and hourly leave that can be taken in one-hour increments, are used in practice.
Eltes Co.,Ltd. has set out a policy of promoting a human capital strategy aligned with its business strategy under its new three-year management plan, covering the fiscal years ending February 2027 through February 2029. The company says it will continue developing specialised talent in the digital risk field and creating an environment in which employees can pursue their careers without being constrained by life events. It has also established systems including flexible working hours, telework, hourly paid leave, maternity leave, and childcare and family-care leave, and introduces the current ratios of male to female employees and women in management positions.
In an employee dialogue, Akada Natsumi (赤田夏実) and Matsuda Saki (松田沙希) describe how, after each taking maternity and childcare leave twice, they returned to work and were assigned to different departments. They currently work in the AI Governance Department and the Finance and IR Department. The article emphasises that they have continued to build their careers by using flexible working arrangements with the understanding and support of their managers and colleagues.
The 2 employees share detailed schedules for a typical day and say that hourly leave and working from home have been a significant help in balancing work and childcare. Examples of the systems supporting the balance between work and family life include breaks during morning sickness in pregnancy, avoiding commuting to the office during typhoons, and flexible arrangements when caring for a sick child.
