Support for Balancing Work and Personal Commitments

Balancing Work and Childcare

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.

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.

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.（PDF / 14.72MB）

MUFG Nursery Schools

In order to solve the social issue of a lack of nursery schools in Japan and to support the swift return of approximately 4,300(note) employees taking childcare leave, two nursery schools were opened in Tokyo, thereby supporting a balance of work and childcare.

Balancing Work and Care

We provide useful information and services to employees with families that need caregiving, and by encouraging employees not in such circumstances to prepare in advance, we can support a work-care balance.

Caregiving Seminar

We provide information for employees of Group companies to help them balance work and caregiving. On-demand videos also have been distributed since FY 2020.

Work-care support services and Work-care balance handbook released

The Care Concierge Desk allows those with questions and concerns about caregiving to consult with caregiving specialists, and an employee-dedicated care resource website offers an information directory of care services and facilities, as well as videos about caregiving.
In March 2018, MUFG also issued a “Work-care balance handbook” to provide basic information for caregiving.
