A Vision for Empowered Mothers and a Brighter Japan
In an era where a mother's brilliance can illuminate the future of their children and, by extension, the society, Secretary Co., Ltd. has championed a new working model that prioritizes not just careers but also values the integral role of motherhood. As part of a nationwide initiative, we proudly align with the April Dream campaign, aiming to highlight dreams on April 1st.
The Challenge for Mothers
Many mothers find themselves grappling with the dilemma of sacrificing their careers due to childbirth and child-rearing responsibilities. While the desire to work and utilize their skills is prevalent, numerous barriers, such as time constraints and environmental limitations, often hinder them from taking the necessary steps forward. Amid feelings of self-doubt and worries about insufficient skills, countless talented mothers inadvertently limit their potential, creating a cycle that is difficult to escape. We aim to challenge and change this status quo.
What is Mama Secretary®?
Mama Secretary® is an innovative approach that allows mothers to leverage their skills and experiences while working flexibly from home. It breaks free from the conventional constraints of time and location, empowering mothers to create a working lifestyle that aligns with their family needs. This initiative is not about choosing between family and career; instead, it offers a choice to embrace both, nurturing their professional aspirations alongside their responsibilities at home.
Envisioning a Sustainable Future
Our goal is to foster a society where:
- - Mothers do not relinquish their careers,
- - Child-rearing and professional work coexist naturally,
- - Working authentically and on one’s own terms is the norm.
We envision a future where the Mama Secretary® style of working is a well-known option that is not considered extraordinary but rather an everyday choice. In a society where mothers can pursue their lives without sacrificing ambitions, we believe that children will also inherit a richer, more fulfilling future.
Future Developments
To further promote the Mama Secretary® initiative, we plan to enhance our:
- - Training programs,
- - Opportunities for learning and practical application,
- - Creation of supportive communities.
By building an environment that allows mothers to step confidently into their roles, we will facilitate the realization of their dreams.
Statement from Our Representative
"Women are often compelled to surrender their life dreams due to child-rearing duties. I believe we can change this reality. A mother being able to work in her own right should not be considered extraordinary—it should be the expected norm. By showcasing empowered mothers, we can instill a sense of joy in the prospect of adulthood in the children who observe them. Through Mama Secretary®, we aim to cultivate a society where mothers can make choices without compromising their lives. Our mission will push us to create a future where all mothers can live authentically."
