So we&#8217;ve always tried to make sure that the working environment is suited to staff needs. In particular, this means making sure that staff with children are able to work flexibly. We&#8217;ve taken the following measures:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; flexible working hours: staff can arrange to start and finish work around their own schedule, so they can share childcare responsibilities with their partner, relatives or other people<br \/>&#8211; reduced working hours: full-time staff can work reduced hours without losing benefits, to give them more time to take care of children.<br \/>&#8211; work from home: where feasible, we make arrangements for staff to work at home, including providing them with equipment such as notebook PCs.<br \/>&#8211; time off: when necessary, staff can easily take days off without advance warning.<br \/>&#8211; childcare area at school: we&#8217;ve set aside part of the school as a creche, equipped with safely flooring, gate, toys and more.<br \/>&#8211; childcare staff at school: we have a staff member on call to take care of employees&#8217; children during the working day.<br \/>&#8211; financial support for daycare: for older children who don&#8217;t need to be with their mother all the time, we can pay part of the cost of daily childcare.<\/p>\n<p>With a recent survey showing that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.japantimes.co.jp\/text\/ed20120604a1.html\">86% of mothers in Japan would like to return to work<\/a>, it&#8217;s more important than ever to make sure that the working environment supports women who want to work. We&#8217;re doing our best to make it easy for women to work for us while caring for their children. And hopefully help to increase Japan&#8217;s declining population!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| There is only one full-time male employee at GenkiJACS &#8211; all the other full-time and contract staff are female.
