Arsaga Partners Attains 'Tomonin' Certification

Arsaga Partners, a company based in Shibuya, Tokyo, and renowned for promoting digital transformation (DX), has recently received the 'Tomonin' certification from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. This symbol reflects the company's commitment to creating a workplace that supports employees in balancing their work and caregiving responsibilities.

What is the 'Tomonin' Mark?

The 'Tomonin' mark is designed to address the increasing trend of 'caregiver resignations', where employees leave their jobs due to caregiving responsibilities for parents or family members. Recognizing that retaining core talent is crucial for sustainable development, the Ministry created this mark to raise awareness and encourage a supportive work environment. It serves as a symbol for companies actively working to support employees in balancing work and caregiving roles.

Background and Objectives of Acquiring 'Tomonin'

At Arsaga Partners, providing a secure and welcoming environment for employees to work long-term is a high priority. The company has made significant strides in enhancing childcare and caregiving policies. Recently, there has been a rise in inquiries regarding caregiving as the workforce ages and diversifies. This makes support for employees managing both work and caregiving responsibilities increasingly vital.

Establishing a workplace where productivity can be maintained while balancing caregiving and work is essential for the company's continuous growth. Acknowledging this context, Arsaga Partners has successfully obtained the 'Tomonin' certification, which will further bolster its initiatives aimed at supporting employees during life stage transitions, fostering greater awareness both internally and publicly.

Key Initiatives for Supporting Work-Care Balance

To provide an environment conducive to balancing work and caregiving, Arsaga Partners has implemented several key initiatives:

• - Flexible Work Hours: Employees can adjust their start and end times according to their lifestyles even in full-time roles, and take paid leave in hourly increments.
• - Lucky 7 Days System: New hires are granted special leave of seven days that can be utilized within the first six months until they receive paid leave.
• - Consultation Services: The HR department is dedicated to offering ongoing support and information regarding caregiving.

Additionally, Arsaga ensures that employees can use statutory programs without worry, including caregiving leave, short-time work arrangements, and limitations on overtime and night shifts.

Through these initiatives, Arsaga Partners aims to create a workplace where employees can develop their careers confidently while managing both work and caregiving obligations.
