Sempio said on the 12th that it was selected as a "family-friendly certification leading company" certified by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.
Family-friendly certification is granted after a review to corporations that faithfully operate family-friendly systems under the Act on the Promotion of the Creation of a Family-friendly Social Environment. Among these, leading companies are selected by comprehensively evaluating re-certification scores and best practices among corporations that have maintained family-friendly certification for 12 consecutive years.
Sempio was added to this year's list of leading companies in recognition of consistently practicing family-friendly management since its first certification in 2014. Founded in 1946, Sempio has taken as core values ▲ the happiness of members ▲ contribution to the local community ▲ diversity of culture, and has worked to build a family-friendly organizational culture.
In addition to fostering an in-house culture that enables smooth use of parental leave and leaving work on time, the company has actively operated various systems so that employees can confidently focus on their work while caring for their families' health and happiness. A representative program is "Joy Day," a taste education and online cooking class for employees' children. It not only gives children a chance to visit their parents' workplace and develop a positive understanding of their parents' occupations, but also allows parents and children to communicate together and strengthen their bonds, and it is said to have received a strong response within the company.
In addition, it operates ▲ support for employees' spouses' health checkups and enrollment in accident insurance ▲ a flexible commuting-hours system to support child care for employees returning from maternity leave and parental leave.
A Sempio official said, "Believing that employees must be happy for corporations to achieve sustainable growth, we have worked to create a family-friendly workplace culture," adding, "As a leading company, we will continue to expand a healthy organizational culture in which members can feel pride both at work and at home."
