Fostering Diversity
and Innovation

We strive to secure and empower human resources with diverse perspectives and values. We aim to draw on the resulting individual perspectives, talents, and knowledge to enhance our global competitiveness and improve business results and productivity while enabling further innovation.

Promoting Career Development for Women

One of our important initiatives for ensuring diversity is based on employing people who demonstrate their ability regardless of their gender, following the Act on Promotion of Women’s Participation and Advancement in the Workplace. We hold dialogues with managers to promote and develop women in their careers, as well as provide training to deepen the understanding of career development for women and encourage the use of their skills.

Using Mid-career and Overseas Employees

Through mid-career hiring of specialized personnel and exchanges with overseas subsidiaries, we are working to make use of human resources with diverse values and abilities.

Support for Balancing Childcare and Work

Support for Childbirth

We support employees giving birth by providing a longer period of maternity leave than what is legally required, ensuring that mothers are protected before and after childbirth.

Shorter Working Hours During Pregnancy and Childcare

We offer an extensive system of reduced working hours that can be taken during pregnancy or until a child completes the third grade of elementary school.

Support for Nursing Care of Children

Our leave system for employees with children up to the end of the third grade of elementary school lets them care of their children when there is sudden injury or illness.

Promoting Male Employees’ Participation in Childcare

We encourage male employees to participate in childcare by making it easy for them to take the legally required paternity and childcare leave.

Registered as a TOKYO Papa Ikugyo Promotion Company (Silver tier)

Meiwa Corporation is registered as a TOKYO Papa Ikugyo (childcare leave) Promotion Company (Silver tier) under a childrearing program launched by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The program recognizes companies that support the participation of male employees in childrearing.
We promote efforts to build environments in which all our employees can strike a balance between work and childcare responsibilities, free of undue worry or anxiety. By promoting flexible workstyles and fostering a workplace culture that encourages employees to take childcare leave, we seek to build workplaces where diverse human resources can thrive.
We will continue supporting employee life events based on our commitment to building welcoming, accommodating workplaces.

Support for Balancing Caregiving and Work

Expansion of Family Care Leave Program

This system allows employees to take longer periods of leave for family care than is legally required.

Shorter Working Hours While Caring for a Family Member

Employees can choose to work reduced hours for caregiving, which helps them to continue working while caring for family members.

Promoting digitalization

We have significantly raised productivity by promoting digitalization, the automation of business operations, and the adoption of dedicated internal AI technology.
We also have established the Meiwa Digital Core, a joint organization dedicated to digital transformation (DX), staffed by DX-promotion specialists and human resources selected from various sections to plan and implement companywide DX initiatives.
Based on these improvements in the internal digital environmental, we aim to build an autonomously evolving corporate management information infrastructure.

Internal startup program

We have established a program under which employees, regardless of section affiliations, can pursue the challenge of proposing and implementing new business ideas, thereby fostering an organizational culture marked by innovation and a spirit of taking on challenges. Employees who submit proposals that pass the screening process are assigned responsibility for commercializing their proposals.

Creating an office lounge area

We are currently promoting the development of an environment in which employees can interact organically to stimulate vertical, horizontal, and diagonal communication across sections and across positions.
A new office lounge area opened in the head office in FY2026 represents a typical example of our efforts to encourage employees to come together and interact. Numerous employees use it as a place for everyday communication, whether in short breaks during the workday, at lunchtime, or for simple meetings.
Moving forward, by building comfortable, vibrant workplace environments, we will foster better ties among employees and enhance organizational capabilities.

Workplace interaction

We promote employee interaction and camaraderie through golf competitions and other internal events, as well as by supporting the baseball club, badminton club, fishing club, tennis club, and ski club. Through these activities, we will continue striving to build workplaces where all can work with a sense of vitality.
