Work Style Reform Through Optimized Working Hours

We have implemented a range of work style reforms, such as curbing extended overtime by having employees focus on work during busy periods to improve work productivity, creating staggered shifts with sliding start and finish times, requiring employees to take five consecutive days of paid leave (smile leave), introducing paid leave that can be taken in hourly increments, and the setting of no overtime days. Specifically,regarding the weekly work hours of employees, we comply with the local laws and regulations of each country or region and manage the hours based on the number of hours stipulated in the labor-management agreement, among others, to prevent workloads from becoming excessive.Regarding overtime, we are working to reduce overtime hours based on internal targets that by beyond statutory compliance, encourage employees who have put in excessive overtime to reduce their overtime hours through the Safety and Health Committee and consultations with industrial physicians, and are generally working to eliminate extended working hours by proactively considering and taking action regarding the allocation of working hours. 

Promoting of Volunteer Activities

When employees take part in recovery activities in connection with natural disasters and other events, or engage in activities supported by the FP Corp. Environment Fund, they can make use of a volunteer leave system.
In addition, employees are involved in the running of Floor Hockey tournaments organized by FP Corporation as volunteer staff.
