Work Style Reforms
In addition to efforts aimed at reducing working hours, SEKISUI CHEMICAL is endeavoring to improve work productivity.
To pursue a highly productive work style that maximizes results in a limited amount of time, it is important for employees to work in a self-directed manner and for managers to engage in self-directed support-type management. To further instill this approach, SEKISUI CHEMICAL Group is rolling out its Work Style Reforms Guidelines and Work Style Reforms e-learning to its employees. In fiscal 2022, the Group conducted training for managers to coach employees’ self-support.
To promote the realization of flexible work styles, we have upgraded and expanded Group-wide working from home/flexible hours and other systems. As a result, coexistence between going to an office and working remotely has steadily taken hold.
Moving forward, we will continue to maintain close communication between the Company and labor union, engage in constructive dialogue on issues common to labor and management, and promote revisions to systems related to flexible work styles through the Labor Union - Management Committee.
