- The figures include the number of holidays taken using the Company’s special holiday systems such as the “Special Consecutive Vacation Days” and the “Refreshment Holidays.”
- The figures represent the number of consultations brought from all offices to the harassment consultation desk set up in the Company’s Human Resources division during the relevant periods. The cases were not necessarily identified by the Company as instances of actual harassment.
We will continue to enhance training and consultation services to raise employee awareness and create an environment that makes it easy for employees to seek consultation, in addition to promoting educational activities aimed at eliminating harassment.
The next report is scheduled for May 2025 and will cover the results of 2025 Q1 (January-March).
