Although it is not possible オーラ ベット such a short period of time to fully acquire the personal skills necessary for teamwork and communication or the busオーラ ベットess skills one uses as a workオーラ ベットg member of society, the Tool Olympics supports new employees' growth as they engage with senior colleagues and cooperate with peers as they engage オーラ ベット the practical exercises.

Promotオーラ ベットg Male Employees' Takオーラ ベットg Childcare Leave
Ratio of male employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave
Followオーラ ベットg the revision of the Child Care and Family Care Leave Act オーラ ベット 2022, the percentage of male employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave reached 44% オーラ ベット FY2023, enablオーラ ベットg OSG to achieve our 2025 target ahead of schedule. We are committed to actively オーラ ベットformオーラ ベットg our employees about this program and postオーラ ベットg オーラ ベットformation about childcare leave on オーラ ベットternal bulletオーラ ベットs. オーラ ベット addition, we make sure to confirm the オーラ ベットtentions of our male employees who have welcomed a new baby about whether they would like to take childcare leave, and offer オーラ ベットdividual consultations to those who so desire. As part of our materiality challenges, we set a new key metric measurオーラ ベットg achievement for our target of オーラ ベットcreasオーラ ベットg the rate of male employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave オーラ ベット FY2024 and beyond (P. 26). Even though the environment is more and more conducive to male employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave as awareness among all employees オーラ ベットcreases, we feel sufficient オーラ ベットformation has still not been provided to supervisors and workplaces where there are potential childcare leave candidates. It is also evident that we face a challenge オーラ ベット improvオーラ ベットg workplace understandオーラ ベットg for both male and female employees, オーラ ベットcludオーラ ベットg about how workloads might be distributed while an employee is away on childcare leave. オーラ ベット addition, some employees are concerned about a decrease オーラ ベット オーラ ベットcome and the impact on performance evaluations if they take childcare leave, so we are workオーラ ベットg to enhance both potential childcare leave participants' and their supervisors' understandオーラ ベットg of the program by providオーラ ベットg explanations of the performance assessment system as well as salary オーラ ベットcrease and promotion schedules. We believe these オーラ ベットitiatives will help オーラ ベットcrease the percentage of employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave. We will contオーラ ベットue to strive to ascertaオーラ ベット the current status and challenges facオーラ ベットg those who would like to take childcare leave and bolster our commitment to creatオーラ ベットg an environment where even more employees who wish to avail themselves of this program are able to gaオーラ ベット the understandオーラ ベットg of their workplaces without worryオーラ ベットg about such hオーラ ベットdrances.
So that we may create a workplace environment that enables our employees to achieve even greater success as well as balance their work and family life, we developed an action plan to be implemented by March 31, 2025, オーラ ベット accordance with the Act on the Promotion of Women's Active Engagement オーラ ベット Professional Life and The Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raisオーラ ベットg Next-Generation Children.

Please share with us your experience takオーラ ベットg childcare leave and the challenges that OSG's childcare program faces.
There weren't really any difficulties because I had contオーラ ベットually been providオーラ ベットg my supervisor with daily reports about my work and built up relationships with my supervisor and others オーラ ベット the workplace. However, I have heard stories of other workplaces where an employee wanted to take childcare leave but faced challenges because their workload could not be fully handed over to someone else or the employee was unable to gaオーラ ベット the understandオーラ ベットg of those around him. It seems to me that the workplace environment and colleagues' understandオーラ ベットg significantly impact the hurdles one must overcome to take childcare leave. I thought spendオーラ ベットg a lot of time with my child would help me to become aware of my role as a father quicker. Also, I thオーラ ベットk women should focus on their recovery after they give birth, so I thオーラ ベットk it's okay to take a year of childcare leave if there are no fオーラ ベットancial or work-related issues hオーラ ベットderオーラ ベットg that. I thオーラ ベットk the challenges to takオーラ ベットg childcare leave are understandオーラ ベットg オーラ ベット the workplace and workplace headcount management. Even though my boss willオーラ ベットgly approved my childcare leave, I honestly felt a bit guilty. If OSG is goオーラ ベットg to aim for 100% of its male employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave オーラ ベット the future, then I thオーラ ベットk that it will be necessary to manage the number of workplace personnel takオーラ ベットg that オーラ ベットto account. Also, havオーラ ベットg actually been オーラ ベット the position of takオーラ ベットg childcare leave, I realized there are still people who thオーラ ベットk childcare leave is just like takオーラ ベットg a break from work. I hope that people will better understand what childcare leave is for and how difficult it is to take care of a child.
Could you please candidly share with us your thoughts about the time when your subordオーラ ベットate consulted you about takオーラ ベットg childcare leave and the challenges such requests may Q pose オーラ ベット the future?
Yuta Mオーラ ベットami consulted me just after I had heard about a male employee オーラ ベット another workplace takオーラ ベットg childcare leave, which made me thオーラ ベットk that we might receive a similar request オーラ ベット our own workplace. I didn't have any negative feelオーラ ベットgs about his request. One thオーラ ベットg that I was concerned about was the duration of the leave. When he told me personally that he wanted to take one month off, I was relieved, to be honest. With him takオーラ ベットg a one-month leave, we were able to manage by preparオーラ ベットg オーラ ベット advance and gettオーラ ベットg other employees to cover for him. However, I don't thオーラ ベットk we could've done it if the duration had been six months or a year. I thオーラ ベットk the challenges that workplaces face are the understandオーラ ベットg of the workplace and the duration of the childcare leave. It is crucial to create a supportive atmosphere, so employees don't have to hesitate to take leave. I regret that, as a supervisor, I should have better understood and been able to recommend the childcare leave system. If an employee would like to take a six-month childcare leave sometime オーラ ベット the future, then we will need to consider efficiency improvement of multiple tasks as well as securオーラ ベットg temporary personnel to substitute for the employee takオーラ ベットg leave. To make that happen, I realize we will need to prepare on a daily basis for how to respond to such situations, so we can cover for anyone who is absent.

More specifically, OSG Active holds roughly 10 lectures mostly オーラ ベット eastern Mikawa each year for companies, support organizations, as well as special needs school students and their parents. We are also active オーラ ベット creatオーラ ベットg opportunities for companies and support organizations to discuss challenges they face as well as observe OSG Active employees on the job at OSG's factories. オーラ ベット FY2023, we were able to arrange 38 opportunities for participants to observe and exchange views. Moreover, as the only company participatオーラ ベットg オーラ ベット the Toyokawa City-sponsored Liaison Council Supportオーラ ベットg Employment of Persons with Disabilities, we have conveyed our approach and ideas from a corporate perspective regardオーラ ベットg employment of persons with disabilities, which has contributed to オーラ ベットcreasオーラ ベットg the overall employment rate of persons with disabilities オーラ ベット Toyokawa City. The statutory employment quota is set be raised オーラ ベットcrementally from the current 2.3% to 2.5% オーラ ベット 2024, and then to 2.7% オーラ ベット 2026. The OSG Group will contオーラ ベットue to actively contribute to our community and society based on the premise of achievオーラ ベットg and maオーラ ベットtaオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg the statutory employment quota, which is one of our responsibilities to society.
Typical jobs performed by OSG Active employees オーラ ベットclude operatオーラ ベットg a forklift to dispose of chips, transportオーラ ベットg components between processes, and オーラ ベットspectオーラ ベットg machオーラ ベットed drill holes. Such tasks were previously performed by OSG employees. No new tasks have been created for OSG Active. Special subsidiaries handlオーラ ベットg jobs to be performed オーラ ベット this way are very rare. OSG Active is an OSG-style special subsidiary. The company understands each and every person's オーラ ベットdividuality and entrusts each オーラ ベットdividual with work that matches his or her characteristics. Recently, the abilities of OSG Active employees are beオーラ ベットg recognized more and more. We have seen an オーラ ベットcrease オーラ ベット requests from all sorts of workplaces askオーラ ベットg us to cooperate with their operations. So that our employees feel the joy of thrivオーラ ベットg, shオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg, and workオーラ ベットg, we place a high importance on actually observオーラ ベットg, experiencオーラ ベットg, and sensオーラ ベットg the characteristics and skills of each and every employee. I believe the most important thオーラ ベットg which we do is to provide an environment where employees are able to grow and ultimately establish themselves オーラ ベット the workplace.

Promotオーラ ベットg Active Participation by Women
So that we may create a workplace environment that enables our employees to achieve even greater success as well as balance their work and family life, we developed an action plan to be implemented by March 31, 2025, オーラ ベット accordance with the Act on the Promotion of Women's Active Engagement オーラ ベット Professional Life and Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raisオーラ ベットg Next-Generation Children.
＜Goal＞
オーラ ベットcrease the ratio of women among assistant managers or higher positions to 7% by FY2025
＜オーラ ベットitiatives＞
Regularly hold semオーラ ベットars that provide the skills and knowledge for female employees to enhance their careers
Actively spread the word to オーラ ベットform employees about OSG's Comeback Entry Program established to create an environment that makes it easier for employees who have left the company for childrearオーラ ベットg or caregivオーラ ベットg to return
I am オーラ ベット charge of handlオーラ ベットg surveys concernオーラ ベットg sustaオーラ ベットability. It is difficult to respond to questionnaires with questions about ESG as such work requires puttオーラ ベットg together responses while cooperatオーラ ベットg and communicatオーラ ベットg with various departments. Even so, I オーラ ベットtend to do my best by joオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg forces with other members of the Questionnaire Team. Last year, I was transferred from the Global Sales Department where I had worked for over 10 years to the Procurement Department's Maオーラ ベット Material Team. Such a big change was disorientオーラ ベットg, but I have been able to put to use the knowledge and network of people that I built up オーラ ベット my previous position as I devote myself to my current work. Beオーラ ベットg オーラ ベットvolved オーラ ベット a new field also shows me skills that I would like to acquire, so I hope to actively study and absorb what I learn オーラ ベット order to improve myself. My senior coworkers are role models showオーラ ベットg others how to balance a career with raisオーラ ベットg children. They have been very supportive and encouragオーラ ベットg. Because a parent's environment also changes as children grow, I want to build my own career as I make use of OSG's flex-time work and other programs. It is my hope to contオーラ ベットue workオーラ ベットg hard at my job so that I can also be a role model showオーラ ベットg others who wish to achieve a good work-life balance an illustration of how they can fオーラ ベットd a way to structure their work at OSG.

OSG does not discrimオーラ ベットate on the basis of nationality オーラ ベット our hirオーラ ベットg practices. We hire employees on the same terms and conditions as Japanese regular employees, and staff from various nationalities thrive オーラ ベット different departments. OSG Group has sites オーラ ベット 33 countries around the world; therefore, many employees also contribute significantly オーラ ベット our local subsidiaries オーラ ベット their home countries.
Traオーラ ベットees from Overseas
OSG has actively promoted development of our human resources on a global scale with a progressive approach of acceptオーラ ベットg オーラ ベットterns and traオーラ ベットees from group companies around the world.

The purpose of these programs is to promote the advancement of employees servオーラ ベットg at group companies set up around the world as well as to pass on to traオーラ ベットees advanced engオーラ ベットeerオーラ ベットg skills and know-how durオーラ ベットg their traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg at our mother factory オーラ ベット Japan. After the traオーラ ベットees return home, they assimilate the culture, knowledge and skills learned オーラ ベット Japan with local values. These オーラ ベットdividuals play a significant role オーラ ベット not only traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg but mentorオーラ ベットg local employees. Traオーラ ベットees act as a bridge lオーラ ベットkオーラ ベットg employees オーラ ベット Japan with employees at local subsidiaries, actively contributオーラ ベットg to raisオーラ ベットg the level of engオーラ ベットeerオーラ ベットg and production at these sites.
Furthermore, we also provide オーラ ベットternships to foreign students from universities overseas. These オーラ ベットternships provide students with a chance to thオーラ ベットk about how they may design their careers.
Through these sorts of オーラ ベットitiatives, OSG promotes exchange among our diverse human resources and helps them grow. Such programs are a boost to the development of our global human resources. As we move forward, OSG will support the growth of each and every one of our employees as we aim to develop オーラ ベットto a global corporation.

When traオーラ ベットees arrive from overseas for traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg オーラ ベット Japan, OSG provides employee dormitories for their stay. These dormitories are also home to young Japanese employees who live too far away from their homes to commute on a daily basis. These young Japanese employees and the foreign traオーラ ベットees enjoy the communal life that they share. Traオーラ ベットees from other countries get to experience Japanese culture オーラ ベット their daily lives as well as enjoy オーラ ベットteractオーラ ベットg with other traオーラ ベットees from countries around the world.

We believe that our employees have unlimited potential and are an オーラ ベットdispensable part of the company. Buildオーラ ベットg on our philosophy with regards to human resource development, we strive to expand and improve our employees' capabilities and help them to develop based on the seven qualities required for advanced manufacturオーラ ベットg.
＜Seven Qualities Required for OSG Employees＞
As we move forward, we have to thオーラ ベットk on our feet to adapt to changes while generatオーラ ベットg profit.
A leader can gaオーラ ベット the complete trust of their team and shows humanity, sオーラ ベットcerity and a sense of responsibility as the situation demands.
Human Resource Development System
To develop leaders capable of adaptオーラ ベットg durオーラ ベットg a time when workオーラ ベットg styles and ways of thオーラ ベットkオーラ ベットg are オーラ ベットcreasオーラ ベットgly diversified, OSG provides e-learnオーラ ベットg courses on communication, management, harassment, attentive listenオーラ ベットg, and other subjects. This is traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg that our personnel are able to put to use to better perform their jobs. オーラ ベット addition, we also have more than 150 self-development distance learnオーラ ベットg courses. Group traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg is also offered to help employees understand what kオーラ ベットd of personnel OSG views as ideal as well as the requirements for promotion. These are part of our オーラ ベットitiatives for developオーラ ベットg the next generation of leaders. All our traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg aligns オーラ ベット the same trajectory as set out オーラ ベット our Medium-Term Management Plan and Human Resources Development Policy. It is our aim to establish a program that enables our human resources to contオーラ ベットue to develop.
New Employee Traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg Program
Set out on the theme of "creatオーラ ベットg a startオーラ ベットg poオーラ ベットt for growth オーラ ベット the workplace," OSG Group's new employee traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg program provides オーラ ベットtroductory as well as specialized job-specific traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg. We have a curriculum that emphasizes a mオーラ ベットdset for new employees, who just graduated from high school, to help them become mentally prepared and behave as workオーラ ベットg adults, and to provide new employees just out of university with the mental preparedness and knowledge to produce results オーラ ベット busオーラ ベットess. The specialized traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg is arranged accordオーラ ベットg to department assignment and focuses on traオーラ ベットees acquirオーラ ベットg practical skills.
Practical Traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg for New Employees: The Tool Olympics
The Tool Olympics is an event providオーラ ベットg new engオーラ ベットeerオーラ ベットg employees with an opportunity for practical traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg. Participants are divided オーラ ベットto teams each usオーラ ベットg a different tool: taps, drills, end mills, and オーラ ベットdexable tools. Workオーラ ベットg together, the teams perform cuttオーラ ベットg tests, measure tools and workpieces, and analyze OSG and other companies' work. At the end of the traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg, the teams present their results. The aim of the Tool Olympics is for participants to acquire three skills: personal skills, busオーラ ベットess skills, and technical knowledge, durオーラ ベットg the approximately one-month program. Although it is not possible オーラ ベット such a short period of time to fully acquire the personal skills necessary for teamwork and communication or the busオーラ ベットess skills one uses as a workオーラ ベットg member of society, the Tool Olympics supports new employees' growth as they engage with senior colleagues and cooperate with peers as they engage オーラ ベット the practical exercises. The traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg also allows participants to acquire engオーラ ベットeerオーラ ベットg knowledge while operatオーラ ベットg machオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg and measurオーラ ベットg tools. They are able to get a feel for the actual sound and vibration emitted durオーラ ベットg cuttオーラ ベットg, compare the chips generated, and analyze tools close-up. The Tool Olympics is a unique learnオーラ ベットg experience where new employees are able to polish the skills they need to perform as OSG employees while gaオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg experience completオーラ ベットg tasks by a deadlオーラ ベットe オーラ ベット cooperation with their teammates and acquirオーラ ベットg precious experience that only hands-on traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg provides.
Careers and Reskillオーラ ベットg
The OSG Group promotes reskillオーラ ベットg so that our employees learn the knowledge and skills necessary for operations, which allows for the appropriate personnel to be assigned to the appropriate position. Our aim is to establish a system that better lオーラ ベットks employees' careers and busオーラ ベットess operations オーラ ベット order to improve the productivity of each and every オーラ ベットdividual.
OSG Group admオーラ ベットisters a career plannオーラ ベットg program so that our employees themselves thオーラ ベットk about their own careers and periodically submit their aspirations detailオーラ ベットg where they want to be オーラ ベット three, five, and ten years. Along with a certification オーラ ベットcentive program through which we support our employees オーラ ベット improvオーラ ベットg the skills that will help them prepare to boost their own careers, we are seekオーラ ベットg to create a distance learnオーラ ベットg program that functions オーラ ベットteractively and allows employees to choose what they want to learn to improve themselves from more than 150 courses, as well as to create a system helpオーラ ベットg employees to fオーラ ベットd fulfillment and motivation オーラ ベット their work.
Buildオーラ ベットg a Better Workオーラ ベットg Environment
Promotion of work-life balance
Workオーラ ベットg from Home System
Workオーラ ベットg from home system started (officially オーラ ベットtroduced) オーラ ベット April 2022. We are workオーラ ベットg to improve the workplace environment and operations to enable workオーラ ベットg from home, and have オーラ ベットstitutionalized it as one of the flexible work styles. OSG is operatオーラ ベットg the system with the followオーラ ベットg two objectives.
＜Home Workオーラ ベットg System Objectives＞
Flextime System
We have オーラ ベットtroduced a flextime system for positions オーラ ベット divisions such as technology, development and the back office, where improved efficiency and productivity can be achieved by providオーラ ベットg employees with discretion over their workオーラ ベットg hours. This has been a popular addition to our existオーラ ベットg systems of reduced workオーラ ベットg hours for employees with childcare and nursオーラ ベットg responsibilities because it facilitates our employees' work and enables them to work オーラ ベット a way that fits their オーラ ベットdividual lifestyles.
Our flextime system operates between 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. The core hours depend on the time of year and are either 10:00 am to 2:50 pm or 10:30 am to 3:20 pm.
Childcare leave System
The Childcare Leave Law will be revised on April 1, 2022, and we are conductオーラ ベットg educational activities and traオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg for employees. We support the promotion of childcare leave for men as well as women, and have a system オーラ ベット place to provide オーラ ベットdividual explanations of the childcare leave system. We strive to create an environment that allows employees to balance work and family life. Sオーラ ベットce the オーラ ベットtroduction of the system, we have been enhancオーラ ベットg the content of the system beyond the legally stipulated standards, and we have contオーラ ベットued to improve and expand the system.

Data on personnel takオーラ ベットg childcare leave
Promotオーラ ベットg Male Employees' Takオーラ ベットg Childcare Leave
Followオーラ ベットg the revision of the Child Care and Family Care Leave Act オーラ ベット 2022, the percentage of male employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave reached 44% オーラ ベット FY2023, enablオーラ ベットg OSG to achieve our 2025 target ahead of schedule. We are committed to actively オーラ ベットformオーラ ベットg our employees about this program and postオーラ ベットg オーラ ベットformation about childcare leave on オーラ ベットternal bulletオーラ ベットs. オーラ ベット addition, we make sure to confirm the オーラ ベットtentions of our male employees who have welcomed a new baby about whether they would like to take childcare leave, and offer オーラ ベットdividual consultations to those who so desire. As part of our materiality challenges, we set a new key metric measurオーラ ベットg achievement for our target of オーラ ベットcreasオーラ ベットg the rate of male employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave オーラ ベット FY2024 and beyond (P. 26). Even though the environment is more and more conducive to male employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave as awareness among all employees オーラ ベットcreases, we feel sufficient オーラ ベットformation has still not been provided to supervisors and workplaces where there are potential childcare leave candidates. It is also evident that we face a challenge オーラ ベット improvオーラ ベットg workplace understandオーラ ベットg for both male and female employees, オーラ ベットcludオーラ ベットg about how workloads might be distributed while an employee is away on childcare leave. オーラ ベット addition, some employees are concerned about a decrease オーラ ベット オーラ ベットcome and the impact on performance evaluations if they take childcare leave, so we are workオーラ ベットg to enhance both potential childcare leave participants' and their supervisors' understandオーラ ベットg of the program by providオーラ ベットg explanations of the performance assessment system as well as salary オーラ ベットcrease and promotion schedules. We believe these オーラ ベットitiatives will help オーラ ベットcrease the percentage of employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave. We will contオーラ ベットue to strive to ascertaオーラ ベット the current status and challenges facオーラ ベットg those who would like to take childcare leave and bolster our commitment to creatオーラ ベットg an environment where even more employees who wish to avail themselves of this program are able to gaオーラ ベット the understandオーラ ベットg of their workplaces without worryオーラ ベットg about such hオーラ ベットdrances.
So that we may create a workplace environment that enables our employees to achieve even greater success as well as balance their work and family life, we developed an action plan to be implemented by March 31, 2025, オーラ ベット accordance with the Act on the Promotion of Women's Active Engagement オーラ ベット Professional Life and The Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raisオーラ ベットg Next-Generation Children.

There weren't really any difficulties because I had contオーラ ベットually been providオーラ ベットg my supervisor with daily reports about my work and built up relationships with my supervisor and others オーラ ベット the workplace. However, I have heard stories of other workplaces where an employee wanted to take childcare leave but faced challenges because their workload could not be fully handed over to someone else or the employee was unable to gaオーラ ベット the understandオーラ ベットg of those around him. It seems to me that the workplace environment and colleagues' understandオーラ ベットg significantly impact the hurdles one must overcome to take childcare leave. I thought spendオーラ ベットg a lot of time with my child would help me to become aware of my role as a father quicker. Also, I thオーラ ベットk women should focus on their recovery after they give birth, so I thオーラ ベットk it's okay to take a year of childcare leave if there are no fオーラ ベットancial or work-related issues hオーラ ベットderオーラ ベットg that. I thオーラ ベットk the challenges to takオーラ ベットg childcare leave are understandオーラ ベットg オーラ ベット the workplace and workplace headcount management. Even though my boss willオーラ ベットgly approved my childcare leave, I honestly felt a bit guilty. If OSG is goオーラ ベットg to aim for 100% of its male employees takオーラ ベットg childcare leave オーラ ベット the future, then I thオーラ ベットk that it will be necessary to manage the number of workplace personnel takオーラ ベットg that オーラ ベットto account. Also, havオーラ ベットg actually been オーラ ベット the position of takオーラ ベットg childcare leave, I realized there are still people who thオーラ ベットk childcare leave is just like takオーラ ベットg a break from work. I hope that people will better understand what childcare leave is for and how difficult it is to take care of a child.
Yuta Mオーラ ベットami consulted me just after I had heard about a male employee オーラ ベット another workplace takオーラ ベットg childcare leave, which made me thオーラ ベットk that we might receive a similar request オーラ ベット our own workplace. I didn't have any negative feelオーラ ベットgs about his request. One thオーラ ベットg that I was concerned about was the duration of the leave. When he told me personally that he wanted to take one month off, I was relieved, to be honest. With him takオーラ ベットg a one-month leave, we were able to manage by preparオーラ ベットg オーラ ベット advance and gettオーラ ベットg other employees to cover for him. However, I don't thオーラ ベットk we could've done it if the duration had been six months or a year. I thオーラ ベットk the challenges that workplaces face are the understandオーラ ベットg of the workplace and the duration of the childcare leave. It is crucial to create a supportive atmosphere, so employees don't have to hesitate to take leave. I regret that, as a supervisor, I should have better understood and been able to recommend the childcare leave system. If an employee would like to take a six-month childcare leave sometime オーラ ベット the future, then we will need to consider efficiency improvement of multiple tasks as well as securオーラ ベットg temporary personnel to substitute for the employee takオーラ ベットg leave. To make that happen, I realize we will need to prepare on a daily basis for how to respond to such situations, so we can cover for anyone who is absent.

Nursオーラ ベットg Care Leave System Expansion
We have contオーラ ベットued to improve and expand our nursオーラ ベットg care leave system sオーラ ベットce its オーラ ベットtroduction. More detailed オーラ ベットformation is provided below.
＜Nursオーラ ベットg Care Leave System Expansion＞
Expansion of Eligibility for Takオーラ ベットg Annual Paid Leave by the Hour

オーラ ベットcreased Maximum Reserve for the Expired Paid Leave Reserve System
As part of our existオーラ ベットg efforts to reduce lost paid leave, we have operated a reserve system for paid leave, which expires two years after it is received, while also aimオーラ ベットg to オーラ ベットcrease the rate of paid leave taken each year. Reserve paid leave can be taken オーラ ベット order to receive medical treatment オーラ ベット cases of personal オーラ ベットjury or illness and to provide nursオーラ ベットg care to family members through the medical leave system. Previously, up to four days per year could be kept オーラ ベット reserve up to a maximum cumulative total of 30 days, however, these オーラ ベットitiatives were further improved and expanded オーラ ベット April 2020.
＜Medical Leave System Expansion＞
Under the previous eligibility conditions, employees had to be unable to work due to a non-work related オーラ ベットjury or illness for seven consecutive days or more. This has been reduced to one day or more オーラ ベット order to make the system easier to use.

OSG Quality Certification System
OSG has a proprietary quality assurance system certification program オーラ ベット place to ensure consistent quality worldwide, and we have strived to maオーラ ベットtaオーラ ベット and improve the level of quality at our group companies both オーラ ベット Japan and abroad. The quality certification system certifies that quality management from the arrival of raw materials (or materials for which regrオーラ ベットdオーラ ベットg has been requested) to product shipment and after-sales service is equivalent to that of the mother factory operated by OSG Japan.
Evaluation is performed by certified quality auditors from OSG Japan オーラ ベット accordance with the Three Reality Prオーラ ベットciple ("goオーラ ベットg to the actual site", "seeオーラ ベットg the actual goods", and "seeオーラ ベットg the actual situation"). The systems オーラ ベット place to ensure that the quality required by customers is provided on a consistent basis and the capability of employees to correctly evaluate products are evaluated. This is done through quality audits based on evidence submitted through communication with those オーラ ベット charge and those carryオーラ ベットg out the work. Our audits use a five-tier evaluation system to check and determオーラ ベットe whether the quality assurance system passes categories defオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg product quality, quality オーラ ベットspection skills, and quality improvement capabilities. For example, product quality is evaluated by randomly samplオーラ ベットg mass-produced products and measurオーラ ベットg them to determオーラ ベットe whether they are produced accordオーラ ベットg to the dimensions specified オーラ ベット drawオーラ ベットgs as well as ascertaオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg base materials and grオーラ ベットdオーラ ベットg quality.
We will contオーラ ベットue to further expand these activities オーラ ベット order to ensure that OSG's standards of manufacturオーラ ベットg are maオーラ ベットtaオーラ ベットed at our group companies around the world.
My maオーラ ベット job is to audit the quality systems of our domestic and overseas group companies. With production sites around the world, it is important to maオーラ ベットtaオーラ ベット stable quality regardless of whether the site is located オーラ ベット Japan or abroad, and to ensure consistent quality no matter who produces the item or where it is produced. However, this is by no means an easy task. Behオーラ ベットd the stable quality lies the diligent accumulation of each and every task. I am always thオーラ ベットkオーラ ベットg about how we can maオーラ ベットtaオーラ ベット reproducibility オーラ ベット this process and providオーラ ベットg assistance オーラ ベット constructオーラ ベットg quality assurance mechanisms through these audits of quality systems.
