Good working environment
Diverse work styles
As part of its efforts to create an environment in which diverse human resources can play an active role, Moriroku Group has established systems that support diverse work styles, such as shorter working hours and telecommuting.
Working at home
The program has been introduced to promote flexible work styles and to achieve work-life balance, among other objectives. By selecting a work location that fits individual circumstances and work duties, it leads to improved work comfort and operational efficiency.
Flextime system
Self-control over arrival and departure times within flexible hours allows employees to work at times that suit their own lifestyles.
Hourly paid annual leave
Up to five (5) days of paid leave per year may be divided into two (2) hour increments.
Support for balancing work and childcare/nursing care
Moriroku Group aims to ensure that all employees, regardless of gender, can continue to be active in their careers without giving up, while maintaining a good work-life balance, even when they enter life stages such as childbirth, childcare, and nursing care. We have established various systems to support work-life balance so that each employee can choose a variety of work styles and maximize his/her abilities, even with restrictions on his/her private life.

Improved employee engagement
Moriroku Group has conducted the "MI400 Our Voice" employee awareness survey to understand the current strengths and weaknesses of the organization and clarify issues, and has set "employee engagement" and "environment for making the most of employees" as key sustainability KPIs for FY2030 with a long-term goal of 60% or more positive responses. The company has set the long-term targets of 60% or more positive responses to the key sustainability KPIs of "employee engagement" and "environment for employee development" for fiscal 2030.
From the results of the 2021 survey, we focused on the priority categories of "Respect for the individual," "Cooperation," and "Leadership," which are closely related to "Employee Engagement" and "Environment for Making the Most of Employees," and set a 10-point increase in positive responses regarding these items as a goal of the 13th Mid-term Management Plan. Until the next survey, a pulse survey (brief survey) will be conducted every year, and each workplace that receives feedback from the pulse survey results is working on actions for improvement. Excellent initiatives are introduced as "best practices" in the company newsletter, and examples are shared throughout the company. In addition, by increasing opportunities for dialogue with directors and department heads regarding the workplace environment, we aim to further improve employee engagement by fostering a sense of unity and empathy for our vision and sense of fulfillment in a more open environment.
Promoting employee health
In order to protect the health of employees, Moriroku Group pays for annual physical examinations for employees aged 35 and older (including optional gastroscopy expenses) and focuses on cancer screenings as well as lifestyle-related diseases. The company also offers breast and cervical cancer screenings to female employees over the age of 35.
In addition, we support the creation of workplaces free of passive smoking and the graduation of smokers from the smoking habit (smoking cessation). As part of these efforts, we provide smoking cessation programs such as outpatient smoking cessation visits and other smoking cessation programs, and from July 2023, we have implemented a total smoking ban on the premises of our business sites during working hours.
