Creating an Excellent Working Environment
ULVAC, Inc. is creating a working environment in which employees can demonstrate their strengths and originality while enhancing their productivity. Furthermore, we are developing conditions and programs that minimize the impact of life events, so that diverse human resources can flourish and perform well.
Improvement of Systems for Flexible Workstyles
ULVAC, Inc. offers a staggered working hour system and a flextime system. We also introduced an hourly annual paid leave system in 2020 that is used by many employees. The average number of days of annual paid leave taken was 12.8. We have also taken steps such as the introduction of shortened working hours and the establishment of satellite offices.
Many employees take advantage of systems such as childcare leave, the short-working-hours system for childcare, and nursing care leave. In order to facilitate the use of the systems, we are publicizing the systems by holding meetings to explain the details of the systems, including through the use of explanatory videos.
Respect for Diversity and Inclusion
The ULVAC Group has been striving to create workplaces offering job satisfaction without disparities in terms of gender, nationality, or ethnicity. The ratio of women in managerial positions in the ULVAC Group as a whole was 9.0%, up 1.3% from the previous fiscal year. Moreover, approximately 50% of all managerial positions in the Group are held by non-Japanese nationals.
In order to further increase corporate value, the need to expand opportunities for female employees so that they can fulfill active roles in the ULVAC Group constitutes an important management issue. We will take steps to enhance educational opportunities and various personnel systems in order to foster a growing number of female candidates for managerial positions, targeting an increase of the ratio of women in managerial positions in the ULVAC Group to 10% or more by June 2026.
Human Resources Subcommittee
We have established the Human Resources Subcommittee consisting mainly of young employees to thoroughly examine initiatives for sustainable management from the viewpoint of human resources in order to achieve "our goal for 2050." Members of the subcommittee are drawn from various departments and roles, vary in age, and genders are fully represented. They discussed various themes such as "how to raise awareness, how to promote diversity, and how to create a comfortable working environment and flexible workstyles necessary for promoting diversity" over a period of six months and drafted a proposal of concrete measures and presented it to management as a series of recommendations. The Human Resources Subcommittee is currently addressing the issue of how best to implement the proposed measures.
Employment of People with Disabilities
People with a variety of disabilities work at ULVAC, Inc. They aim to achieve personal growth and contribute to business, and by accumulating experience they have become indispensable in the workplace. After they join the company, ULVAC works with job assistance organizations, conducts regular interviews, offers support in the departments where they work and makes improvements to the working environment, providing follow-up according to the characteristics of each disability to ensure each employee becomes well established in the workplace. In addition, students with disabilities are also accepted from local educational institutions for on-the-job training.
