With subsidiaries and affiliates in more than 20 countries around the world, the “K” LINE Group is composed of diverse employees. Even at the Japan head office, we conduct group and mid-career hiring of employees of diverse nationalities, educational backgrounds, genders, and work areas (administrative, technical, etc.). We have also established the Action Plan for Promoting the Advancement of Women to achieve a more ideal workplace gender balance, and we are promoting other diversity initiatives.
In order to create an environment in which everyone can fully demonstrate their individual abilities while balancing work and family life, we formulate the following action plan with the aim of becoming a company where all employees can work with a sense of motivation and self-confidence.
April 1, 2022 – March 31, 2025
Goal 1 (Goal to provide opportunities related to work life)
Increase the percentage of female employees in managerial positions to 15% by the end of the plan period.
Goal 2 (Goal to balance work life and family life)
Limit the average monthly overtime working hours per employee to 40 hours or less.
Goal 3 (Goal set under the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children)
Increase the percentage of male employees taking leave for childcare to 20% or more.
