Information on Female Positive Participation

Recruiting Status

While recruiting number is increasing annually, female recruit rate is also getting higher. In FY 2016, 11%, but as the results of addressing based on action plan, in FY 2019, the rate reached 36% and the target was achieved.
The measures for making higher female recruit rate will be conducted further.

Employee Structure

We are enhancing recruitment of female employees, while currently % of female employees in whole group is around 20%, and no big change has been found.
Manager rate is in increasing trend, however, female rate is only 1%, which shows a great gap compared to 15% of males. Fostering female employees become main issues.

Average Working Year

As for average working years, no big difference is found between males and females, but female working year is longer than male's.
In FY 2018, female working year got lower -0.6% compared to the last fiscal year, which seems to have been effected by the increase of recruiting females.
We will further address to create more workable work-site.

Monthly average of Overtime Hours

As for monthly average of overtime hours, no big change is found and is keeping almost the same level.
Also, for monthly average of overtime hours, the difference between males and females is big, which we think that the difference is effected by working shifts in Manufacturing Division.
