Top Page > Recruitment Information > Global Human Resources Diversity
Diversity is a word that means "diversity".
In order to meet the diverse needs of society, we must also have diverse values and provide diverse values.
It is none other than our “human assets” that provide value.
Improving work-life balance and QOL (Quality Of Life) are the foundations for our “human resources” to contribute to society.
For the advancement of society, we will continue to pursue our corporate philosophy and continue diversity management.
Our “Diversity Declaration”

Based on the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children enacted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, our company was certified as a company that supports child-rearing. We have acquired a special certification mark (Platinum Kurumin mark).
In addition, one of the goals of the Action Plan for Raising the Next Generation is to support employees who are raising children to balance work life and family life, and we are actively promoting work-life balance initiatives.
(Figure 3) Certified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry/Japan Health Council as a 2024 Certified Health and Productivity Management Organization
On March 11, 2024, Kurashiki Kako Co., Ltd was certified in the large corporation category of the 2024 Health and Productivity Management Organization, a certification system by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi.
This is our second consecutive year of certification, following last year.
“Health and Productivity Management” is an initiative to consider employee health management from a management perspective and implement it strategically. It is a rewarding system.
The General Affairs and Human Resources Department plays a central role in our company, and we will work on the health activities of each employee and the creation of a vibrant organization while cooperating with related organizations.
We support a balance between work and family by requiring employees to take no overtime days and take paid holidays. For example, no overtime day. In principle, overtime work is prohibited on Fridays and on days when salaries and bonuses are paid, and employees are encouraged to leave work on time. In addition, it is compulsory to systematically take eight days of paid leave. We aim to refresh and improve productivity.
‣Set every Friday as a no-overtime day
‣ July, August, and September are set as summer overtime limits, and overtime hours are limited more than usual.
‣Preservation paid system
Up to 60 days of paid leave, which expires in two years, can be accumulated and used for personal injuries, childcare, and nursing care.
There is a public health room (public health nurse stationed) in the company, and it responds to daily trouble consultations.
As part of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), we have partnered with an external medical institution.
We have put in place a system that makes it easier for employees to consult, such as counseling outside the workplace and counseling via e-mail.
We also provide support from the perspective of prevention, such as comprehensive medical checkups and individual health promotion programs.
‣ Comprehensive medical checkup during regular health checkups
‣Free flu vaccination
‣Consultation on total health (health and mental health) by in-house public health nurses
‣Employee support program (EAP service) by an external specialized medical institution
Children and families are important.
We are making good use of the leave system and the short-time work system.
In addition to special leave when a spouse gives birth, we also encourage male employees to take childcare leave, and have actually taken it.
‣Special leave when spouse gives birth (granted for 3 days)
‣ Shorter working hours system for childcare exceeding the legal requirement
Working hours can be shortened by up to two hours per day until the child begins the second year of elementary school, or up to the beginning of the first year of junior high school.
(Example: Normally 08:00-17:00 → 09:00-16:00)
‣ Nursing care leave system that exceeds the law
Employees can take up to 6 days of paid nursing care leave until the beginning of the first year of junior high school.
