Work Life Balance
We believe that maintaining physical and mental health is fundamental for each employee to work with excitement and motivation. JSP is making various improvements to the work environment.
Regular Health Check
JSP carries out health check-ups every year and those with findings are recommended to undergo re-examination or a full medical check-up. A follow-up is conducted through interviews with occupational physicians.
Employee Assistance Program
JSP carries out stress checks via the internet every year and various follow-ups are conducted based on the results. This content covers not only consultations regarding health and careers but also a wide range of mental health issues, and we have built a system whereby employees can easily seek advice to help them achieve a better mental and physical balance.
Flex-time System
JSP has introduced a flextime system to accommodate each employee's personal circumstances and to enable them to exercise their abilities in the workplace, depending on their duties. By allowing employees to work flexibly outside of their core work hours, employees are able to improve work efficiency and diversify their working styles. Active use of the system also helps to reduce overtime work and promote health and wellness.
Controlling Long Working Hours
JSP sets its own standards for overtime hours per month, which are stricter than the upper limit of working hours under the Act on the Establishment of Relevant Laws to Promote Workplace Reform in Japan. If any employee exceeds the overtime hours, the Personnel Affairs Department sends a reminder to the employee through the person in charge of the department. The person in charge and the employee work together to control long working hours and strive to comply with our standards.
Childcare Leave and Nursing Care Leave
To enable employees to balance work and family life, JSP offers maternity leave, childcare leave, nursing care leave systems, as well as shorter working hours for childcare and nursing care.
In particular, to create an environment that makes it easier for employees to return to work after childcare leave and to help them cope with changes in their new working environment, we allow employees to take "childcare leave for familiarization" within one month from the date the child starts daycare.

Promotion of Taking Paid Leave
JSP is actively promoting the acquisition of paid leave for the purpose of improving the physical and mental health and motivation of employees and improving labor productivity.
Employees are granted between 3 and 12 days in their first year of employment, depending on when they join the company, and up to 20 days in their second and subsequent years, depending on the length of service. In addition, up to 30 days can be accumulated in addition to paid leave in case medical treatment is required due to illness or injury.
Area Career-track Work System
This is a system for career-track employees who are not subject to relocation. By converting positions from technical or general staff to area- career-track positions, employees can expand the scope of the job and meet the needs of diverse work schedules, such as changing lifestyle stages.
