GOLFZON announced on the 30th that it has obtained re-certification as a 'family-friendly exemplary corporation' organized by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. This is the third re-certification since its initial certification in 2016, following those in 2019 and 2021. The company plans to continue its efforts to maintain family-friendly systems based on various employee welfare programs.
The family-friendly exemplary corporation certification is a system in which the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family grants certification to corporations that operate exemplary family-friendly systems, including support for childbirth and childcare, flexible working arrangements, and caregiving-related policies, with the aim of fostering a family-friendly environment. Selections are made through evaluations every 2 to 3 years.
With this re-certification this year, GOLFZON will maintain its qualifications until 2027. GOLFZON explained that it was recognized for its efforts to establish a family-friendly corporate culture and implement policies that support employees' work-life balance.
GOLFZON operates various welfare programs to establish a family-friendly corporate culture and create a healthy organizational culture. It has continuously improved the work environment through employee welfare systems aimed at work-life balance, including the implementation of flexible commuting hours, Family Week, and encouragement of annual leave usage.
In addition, GOLFZON is actively addressing the low birthrate issue while enhancing the quality of life for employees through customized welfare programs tailored to different life stages, such as childbirth and childcare. Key initiatives include support for infertility treatment expenses, marriage incentives, scholarships for children, and operating daycare centers.
