Work-Life Balance


Efforts to Support Child Caring and Nursing

Clarion has set up a childcare leave system, a nursing leave system, and a vacation deposit system to ensure an environment and working conditions that allow employees who need to take care of small children or older family members to balance their roles at work and at home. In addition to these measures we have also set up a flextime system and other systems that offer flexible working styles to our employees. Furthermore, we have formulated an action plan in response to the Law for Measures to Support the Development of the Next Generation, and are implementing it.

   Fiscal 2004  Fiscal 2005  Fiscal 2006
 Childcare Leave  5  3  2
 Nursing Leave  0  0  1
 Childcare Leave System  Childcare leave may be taken once for each child, with the leave period lasting until the child is one year and six months old.
 Nursing Leave System  Leave of up to a maximum of 93 days may be taken each time for one family member requiring nursing care.
 Nursing Leave System  Under this system, the employees can save up a maximum of five days per year of the unconsumed annual paid holidays that lapse after two years from the date of the grant. They are allowed to save up to a limit of 60 days. The saved-up paid holidays are used as a leave for the treatment of non-workrelated injuries/illness or care for family members, etc.

Efforts for the Full Consumption of Paid Holidays

Clarion works to create systems that facilitate consumption of paid holidays with a target of full consumption. Clarion has introduced the following holidays: “Refresh” Holidays (three consecutive paid days), “Memorial Holidays,” enabling the employee to take two paid holidays for an anniversary of their own or that of a member of their family, and the Company Closing Down using paid holidays (four days).
