In addition to programs and systems that support employees raising children, we are working on promoting understanding among other employees to create an environment that makes it possible to focus on both work and childcare, regardless of gender.
MUFG Nursery Schools
In order to solve the social problem of a lack of nursery schools and to support the swift return of approx. 3,800(note) employees taking childcare leave, we opened the Millène Nursery School in Koenji, Suginami ward, in April 2017. In April 2018, we opened an additional branch of the Millène Nursery School in Kanda, Chiyoda ward, to promote the creation of an environment that allows women to play an active role in the workplace.

Support for smoothly returning to work
In addition to training and supervisor interviews before and after child-related leave, each company is implementing systems to provide economic support and allow for flexible working styles. We are supporting childcare leave takers so that they can continue advancing along their chosen career paths.
Certifications for balancing work and childcare
Each Group company is Kurumin certified under the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children. Kurumin certification by the MHLW recognizes a business as a childcare support company based on set requirements in support of balancing work and childcare. Companies that meet even higher standards receive the Platinum Kurumin certification.

Encouraging men to take childcare leave
The Group is carrying out initiatives to encourage male employees to take responsibility for childcare. We hope that encouraging men to help out with housework and childcare will lead to more balanced work styles as well as better understanding of colleagues who are working while raising children.。
