Promoting Diversity
Women Empowerment in the Workforce
As one of the seven pillars of its medium-term management plan, MIRARTH HOLDINGS is committed to "developing human resources and creating a rewarding workplace environment," and is working to create a workplace environment where women can work comfortably and demonstrate their abilities by providing working conditions that are appropriate for their life stages.
Women's Activity Promotion Project
As part of its efforts to develop human resources and create a rewarding work environment, Takara Leben promotes the Women's Activity Promotion Project.
In May 2022, we introduced the Babysitter Usage Discount System to enable employees who are raising children to balance work and child rearing, subsidized by the Babysitter Dispatch Program implemented by the Cabinet Office. In October of the same year, we introduced the Middle Career Track System, a new work style that allows women in sales positions to return to work after maternity or childcare leave while balancing work and childcare with peace of mind.
Leben Clean Energy has also established the Women's Activity Promotion Project Team to consider how changes can be made based on the real voices of female employees, and is working to create a workplace environment where they can continue to work for a long time.
Introduction of Limited Area Employee System
In response to the urgent need to secure a workforce against the backdrop of a declining workforce due to the falling birthrate and aging population, the urgent need to secure personnel in rural areas due to the expansion of business areas, and the growing needs of job seekers, Takara Leben introduced the limited area employee system in FY2022. We aim to facilitate recruitment in local areas and to secure and retain human resources by diversifying work styles.
Employment of Persons with Disabilities
We are committed to the realization of diversity with the aim of becoming a corporate group where a diverse workforce, regardless of gender, age, nationality, or disability, can play an active role. Leben Village, a farm in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, employs three people with disabilities and a farm manager to grow a variety of vegetables. In addition to providing an environment where employees can work with peace of mind on a long-term basis, vegetables grown and harvested at the farm are regularly distributed within the company to those who wish to receive them.
Leben Village Vegetable Fair
In June 2022, a direct sale of Leben Village vegetables was held at the entrance of Takara Leben's headquarters. Members of the disabled who grew vegetables at Leben Village, a farm in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, visited our headquarters and sold summer vegetables such as cucumbers, zucchini, and shiso leaves. The opportunity to directly purchase vegetables while interacting with members of the production team brought smiles to the faces of employees, and the direct sales event attracted many employees. Many employees visited the direct sales event, and harvested vegetables were mailed to branches and sales offices other than the head office. Proceeds from the vegetable sales were donated to the NPO TABLE FOR TWO.
