Shiseido prioritizes the well-being of employees by promoting career advancement and life design through measures that emphasize autonomy and self-responsibility. We offer various programs and initiatives to help employees balance work with family responsibilities, ensuring a healthy work-life balance. These include company housing, housing allowances, and other housing support programs, as well as asset-building support, an employee stock ownership program, and a consolation payment program. Additionally, we have implemented a Cafeteria Plan* that provides a range of options tailored to the diverse lifestyles and needs of our employees, covering areas such as "workplace revitalization," "self-development," "childcare and family care," and "health promotion." Employees can select the support programs that best suit their individual circumstances.
Shiseido is dedicated to assisting employees with their life and financial management plans. Our retirement benefit program includes both a defined benefit pension and a defined contribution pension or advance retirement allowance, allowing employees to choose the option that best fits their needs. Through the defined contribution pension plan, we encourage employees to take an active role in planning for their post-retirement lives by providing regular information on asset management and investment strategies. Some of our overseas Group companies also offer a combination of defined benefit systems, lump-sum retirement allowances, and defined contribution plans.
Shiseido is committed to fostering transparent communication regarding its corporate activities and collaboratively addressing challenges, grounded in the belief that “strong labor-management relationships are essential to effective corporate governance.” Labor unions are established within Shiseido and several of its Group companies, including those located overseas. In Japan, the Shiseido Labor Union operates under the Union Shop System, representing employees from Shiseido Company, Limited, Shiseido Japan Co., Ltd. and various affiliates.
In the preamble of their labor agreement, Shiseido and the Shiseido Labor Union affirm their commitment to “acknowledge the social responsibilities of Shiseido’s business, work towards the sustainable growth of the Company, and enhance the economic and social well-being of employees, thereby nurturing labor-management relationships founded on goodwill and trust.” In line with this commitment, both parties strive to respect each other's roles and engage in management councils and labor-management discussions that address a range of topics. Specifically, we prioritize labor-management dialogues focused on employee treatment and benefits, work style reform, and the effective management of working hours, including initiatives to reduce excessive working hours, ensuring that business operations remain sustainable. Discussions at each site in Japan are tailored to address the specific labor-management concerns of that location. Additionally, overseas Group companies operate in compliance with local labor laws and regulations, working diligently to cultivate and maintain healthy labor-management relationships through open communication among the Company, labor unions, and employees.
