Tokyo Labor Bureau visits a company that has significantly improved long working hours November 27, 16:12
The director of the Tokyo Labor Bureau visited a company in Tokyo that had significantly improved long working hours, such as when the president Mizuha took childcare leave.
This was part of an effort to prevent death from overwork, and Hiroshi Tsuchida, Director of the Tokyo Labor Bureau, visited an IT company in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo.
This company prohibited overtime after 10 pm from 7 years ago, and when it was time to turn off the electricity at the workplace to make employees aware, and when using telework to work at home etc., one month It means that it has been reduced by a factor of 5 compared to the time when the most overtime work was per hour.
In addition, as a result of the president taking a leave of absence, such as taking childcare leave for two months, the average rate for annual leave, about 50%, exceeded 80% on a national average.
In fact, the “Working Style Reform Law”, which was enforced in April, introduced the first limit for overtime work, and regulations have already begun for large corporations.
Director Tsuchida said, “From April next year, it will be necessary for SMEs to work on work style reforms more than ever. We want to work hard to support the Labor Bureau well.”
