Supporting the Work-Life Balance
Introducing measures aimed at achieving and supporting favorable work-life balance for the employees
Achieving work/life balance
Wai Wai Land is a childcare facility at Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. for children aged zero to six; barrier-free and security considerations have been incorporated in the facility, which has operated since 2005
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. has established programs that enable employees to choose from a variety of working styles to support their efforts to maintain a proper work/life balance.
Flexible work time, designated no-overtime days, parenting and family care leave programs, and an internal childcare facility have been established and we also periodically provide information to employees who are on leave and take measures to create an environment that will facilitate their transition back to work. Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. has also taken measures to increase work choices so that employees can work in ways suited to their individual circumstances, such as a short-time work system introduced in 2009. The percentage of employees taking paid leave was 71.5%* in 2010.
*The percentage is calculated as the ratio of the actual leave taken during the year to the annual paid leave due for all regular employees.
