Labor Practices
Promotion Structure
The ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金up accepts freedom of association, the right to organize and the right to collective bargaining as the rights of employees, and concludes labor agreements with labor unions. It also holds labor-management consultations and committee meetings between employee representatives and management, and implements labor-management dialogues while improving various schemes and exchanging opinions on the management environment on a regular basis, in addition to holding consultations on wages, lump sums, and occupational health and safety.
In terms of labor standards such as salaries and working hours, we comply thoroughly with the laws and regulations of each country and pay living wages and lump-sum payments that enable employees to maintain a certain standard of living, in order to create a better working environment.
The ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金up believes that in order to conduct its business activities in a sustainable manner it is important to contribute to the development of the countries and regions in which it conducts business, and to build good relationships. At our locations in each country and region we focus on hiring local human resources, and engage in management based on the unique cultures and current situations in each area.
The ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金up will continue to pursue better labor practices and contribute to the achievement of decent working conditions.
Policy on reduction of working hours
Under the ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金up Human Rights Policy, the Group considers overwork to be a serious human rights issue and strives to limit working hours by reducing excessive hours and encouraging employees to take annual paid leave.
Decent Work Strategies
"All-inclusive management"
Each and every ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金up employee thinks from the customer's point of view, making decisions and acting on their own initiative. The coming together of its employees is the source of the ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金up's power. This is the DNA that we have inherited from generation to generation. A major prerequisite for all-inclusive management, is a workplace environment where employees can work actively, and we believe that creating such an environment is the most important issue for management.
In terms of measures to prevent long working hours, we reviewed the rules for managing working hours at Yamato Transport, digitized building entry ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金xit data, and reorganized main branch offices. We have also pursued ease of working by taking the lifestyles of each employee into account, such as by improving the workplace environment, introducing a selection system for working days and working hours, and reviewing the content of our services.
In order to revitalize internal communication, we have held panel discussions with front-line employees, enabling them to directly convey their voices and proposals for business process improvements to the president and other executive officers. At the same time, we have also been working on measures to help employees feel greater job satisfaction and the joy of working on a daily basis, by establishing rules for conversion to permanent (unlimited term) employment, reviewing personnel schemes ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金valuation systems, ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金nhancing welfare and benefits programs.
The YAMATO NEXT100 Grand Design management structural reform plan highlights labor as one of the material issues toward the next 100 years, and aims to contribute to achieving "decent work" by 2030. Under the Sustainable Medium-Term Plans 2023 announced in January 2021, we will implement measures for equal pay for equal work ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金reate a comfortable workplace environment for employees, with the aim of realizing a high added-value labor model and promoting "decent work." Moving forward, we will continue to build a comfortable workplace environment where employees can take pride in their jobs.

Supporting the "White Logistics" Movement Toward Work Style Reform for Logistics
In the face of major environmental changes, such as the rapid growth of the e-commerce market and tight supply and demand in the labor market, stabilization of logistics functionality is a major issue for society as a whole.
In response to this, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) launched the White Logistics Movement, with the aim of improving trucking productivity and logistics efficiency ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金reating a sound and healthy working environment that is easier for workers, including female and senior drivers (in their 60s) to work comfortably.
Yamato Transport supports the White Logistics Movement-an initiative for companies involved in logistics-and is working to improve logistics in mutual understanding ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金ooperation with suppliers and other stakeholders in order to achieve the realization of highly productive logistics and working style reforms.
Implementation of Telework System for Call Centers
In order to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infections and facilitate various working styles, we have made it possible for call center personnel to work remotely. This has enabled workers to work at home and from satellite offices, and given them more options for working locations and times.
We offer this telework system not only to employees but also to part-time workers, to make work more comfortable for as many people as possible. We aim to enable workers to achieve a healthy work-life balance through flexible working styles.
Support for Ensuring a Balance Between Work ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金hildcare / Caregiving Responsibilities
In 2018, the ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金up conducted a survey on awareness and actual conditions related to childcare and caregiving, and is considering and developing group-wide support schemes and measures for employees with childcare and caregiving responsibilities, in order to improve the ease of working for these employees.
Major Group companies support the work-life balance of employees by allowing employees to work shorter working hours for childcare until the end of the sixth grade of elementary school, and take up to 365 days of caregiving leave, both of which are in excess of the statutory periods.
In addition, since September 2018, Yamato Transport has been working to create an environment that makes it easier to use these schemes, such as allowing employees with childcare and nursing care responsibilities to choose their number of working days per week, from three or four days.
We have created a handbook for employees with childcare ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金aregiving responsibilities (and their superiors) in order to support a healthy work-life balance, and have made it available for download from our intranet site. We are also introducing telework and flextime schemes. To make possible diverse work styles and increase operational efficiency and productivity, we have broadened the scope of the telework scheme to allow part-timers to telework. Since the number of male employees taking childcare leave is also increasing, we will continue to consider measures that lead to greater understanding in the workplace and from superiors, ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金ontinue to periodically communicate information on work-balance support schemes.

(As of March 2023)
Dialogues with Employees / Improving Satisfaction
We are implementing various measures to increase the job satisfaction of employees throughout the Group.
Employee Awareness Survey
We have been conducting Working Styles Awareness Surveys and Engagement Surveys with employees across the ベラ ジョン カジノ 出 金up to understand the current working environment and make improvements. In the survey conducted in FY2022, each indicator fell, and the Group is positioning an increase in job satisfaction as the issue that we should prioritize. To enhance items that strongly correlate with job satisfaction, we are working to advance mutual understanding through smooth communication and create a working environment that respects diverse approaches and values. These efforts include implementing exchanges of opinions between sales office managers and management at all regional branch offices of Yamato Transport between October 2022 and March 2023, sharing values that reflect the direct connection between customers and employees, and implementing workplace discussions that aim to realize a working environment that encourages job satisfaction. The Group will continue to identify issues and take steps to address the issues based on the results of surveys to develop working environments in which employees can enjoy an employee-friendly environment, experience job satisfaction, and work energetically.

The President's Award is presented to particularly outstanding Groups, with assessment criteria for selection including a clear causal relationship between purpose, efforts and results.

The number of entries and awards is also increasing year by year, as a result of increases in awareness of improvements and reforms among individual employees and various initiatives being implemented on the front lines.
Yamato Transport : "Kuroneko Tamago" Proposal System
"Kuroneko Tamago" is a system that allows all Yamato Transport employees to make proposals for business improvements, new products and services.
