Meanwhile, to encourage good work-life balance, we are promoting “work style reform” by making it easier for employees with young children and/or family members requiring nursing care to pursue their careers and introducing a work-at-home scheme.OthersAt the Nitto Group, we adopt the motto of “open, fair, and best” in every personnel-related matter, including recruitment, assignment, evaluation, and training.
