Group-wide efforts to promote women’s active participation

The Haseko Group has proactively promoted the appointment of female ahead of the industry. Currently, our female employees, known as “Hasejo”, play active roles in all fields of work in condominium life making, ranging from business planning, development promotion, design, construction, sales, and interior decorating to administration.
The Group has implemented a variety of retention measures to raise the percentage of female employees, which include active recruitment of female employees, gathering of female employees, training for female employees, and follow programs for pre- and post-childbirth and childcare leave. Going forward, we will continue focusing on the development of the Company’s core employees and actively promoting the appointment of female toward the target of raising the current percentage of female managers.

Activities of the Office for Promotion of Active Participation of Women

Aiming to realize “Building a company worth working at,” one of the CSR initiative themes for the creation of a pleasant workplace for everyone, we are implementing initiatives for women’s network building and solving workstyle and workplace environment issues to “create a workplace environment where women can enjoy a long career.”

Hosting a gathering of female employees

As part of measures for women’s network building, and to identify issues in their workstyles and workplace environments, and eliminate their concerns about balancing work and family and career advancement, we hold a gathering of female employees. As their workstyles and workplaces vary depending on their business units (divisions or companies) in the Haseko Group, the gathering is held at each business unit so that they can communicate with fellow employees and identify individual issues.

“Female Staff Training Workshops” held by the Construction divisions

Since 2013, the Construction divisions have created opportunities for female employees who work on construction sites to interact and “create construction sites where women can work comfortably.” In fiscal 2023, various workshops, discussions, and other sessions were held with the goals of “realizing a workplace where diverse human resources can build careers and work in construction management for the long term,” and “facilitating the implementation of future-oriented measures from a D&I perspective.” The workshops were meaningful, where participants deepened their understanding of the human resources system and had lively exchanges of opinions on the discussion themes. The matters covered in the workshop will be studied and implemented in future policies and measures, further advancing our efforts to “create construction sites where women can work comfortably.”

Haseko Group joint female staff exchange meeting held

In 2021, the Haseko Group held a group-wide exchange meeting for female staff working at construction-related companies within the Group.
A total of 41 female staff from Haseko Corporation, Haseko Reform Inc., and Hosoda Corporation participated in the exchange meeting.
We hope that this exchange meeting will allow female construction management staff from different departments to interact with each other, share their concerns and issues, and improve the working environment through awareness. We will continue to promote initiatives to encourage positive thinking in order for female staff to continue working in construction management for a long time.

(Participants’ voice)
‧Through the exchange of opinions and presentations, I was inspired by each other’s stories of hardships and difficulties, and by the working styles of female supervisors working while raising children, so that I was able to increase my motivation to work and have a concrete image of my future activities.
‧It was a good opportunity for me to rethink about my own career development in the future.

Delivering information through an internal portal site “Together, we are building a company worth working at”

The Haseko Group operates an internal portal site, “Together, we’re building a company worth working at,” to deliver more information aimed at promoting D&I. In addition to messages from the Group’s senior management, it also introduces role models that represent different work styles, introduces the systems concerning childbirth, parenting, nursing care, etc., and covers various other career support information, while also serving as a forum for sharing opinions. Through this website, we are helping to “create a workplace environment where women can enjoy a long career” by primarily employee-led efforts.

Initiatives in 2023

In fiscal 2023, we started our activities under the slogan “Achieve a lively work style that promotes operational efficiency!” Specific outcomes of each committee’s activities include improving the skills of young employees and leveraging IT tools to promote operational efficiency.
In addition to these committee-led activities, a range of Group-wide initiatives were also carried out to raise awareness of and put into practice a lively work style. These include the “My Interval” scheme in which employees are encouraged to take leave and leave work at regular hours to correspond with seasonal fluctuations in the volume of work required, as well as the twice-yearly Group-wide “leave work early” days and company- and department-designated “early finishing and going home early” days.
We also issue the MOSt Report once a month for the purpose of information sharing on and horizontal rollout of each committee’s activities, to raise awareness among officers and employees.
