Towards a Better
Working Environment

A comfortable working environment protects the safety and health of employees, and links to increased productivity through efficient operations. Furthermore, free and open communication is essential to a healthy and pleasant working environment, and the interplay of factors such as “corporate vision and expectations,” “career goals,” and “respect for and development of the individual” is believed to be connected to what makes a job interesting.
In light of these points, MUMSS endeavors to create a pleasant working environment.

Employee Engagement

Greater employee engagement is reflected in job fulfillment and is believed to be linked to increased customer satisfaction and contribution to local communities and society.

ES：Employee Satisfaction

We have conducted an engagement survey every year since 2010, with the aim of understanding factors such as employee motivation, workplace communication, and satisfaction with supervisors, so that we can make improvements and create a better corporate culture. Based on survey results, we have taken action, such as developing training to instill a deeper awareness of such topics as honesty and fairness and the importance of making customer interests our top priority. We have also implemented policies to revitalize our organization and have set up and administer an Opinion Box where employees can submit comments or requests by e-mail.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Initiatives

We are enhancing diversity in the organization to create an environment where each and every employee is respected and all individuals can fully express the abilities, regardless of differences.

Diversity Report

All of our initiatives are presented in “evolution,” a magazine dedicated to promoting diversity, issued annually and distributed to all employees.

    • Target

    ＜Health and Productivity Management Target＞
    We prioritize the physical and mental health of every employee above all else to sustainably contribute to our customers as dedicated professionals. Our objectives are to achieve “employee well-being” and “enhanced organizational performance (productivity)” by actively promoting KENKO Investment for Health (KIH), which refers to the strategic management of the health of employees and others from a managerial perspective. To accomplish these, we monitor indicators such as “presenteeism (*1),” “absenteeism (*2),” and “work engagement (*3)” as key metrics of KIH.
    FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 Goal
    % of loss due to presenteeism ー 18% 16% Improvement over the
    previous fiscal year
    Average absenteeism days ー 2.6 days 2.8 days
    Work engagement 76 (*4) 73 (*4) 3.74pt
    *1 Presenteeism (productivity loss due to health issues) is calculated from the activity (productivity) index based on “work accomplishments, quality, and volume,” derived from Humanage Inc.’s database. This index defines the normal work productivity unaffected by illness, etc., as 100%. Employees are asked to self-evaluate their work over the past four weeks. If an evaluation is 80%, the “% of loss due to presenteeism” will be 20%. Thus, a lower score reflects higher productivity. In 2024, 5,258 employees responded, resulting in a 93% response rate.
    *2 Absenteeism (absence due to illness) is calculated from a question in an employee survey (How many days were you absent from work due to your illness?) A lower score reflects higher productivity. The number and percentage of employees who responded are the same as above.
    *3 Work engagement is measured using the QRAFT scale, developed by Humanage, Inc., which assesses engagement factors such as happiness, interest, and sense of purpose through a survey. Results are scored from 1.00 to 5.00 points, with higher scores indicating greater engagement. The number and percentage of employees who responded are the same as above.
    *4 Until FY2023, sustainable work engagement was calculated using the MUFG Group attitude survey, developed by WTW. A higher score indicates greater engagement.

    Labor-Related Risk Management and Compliance

    We have a system to comply with labor-related laws and regulations, enforce management, and make improvements as necessary. We define the risk of loss to the company from resource turnover or loss and low morale and similar risks as human resource risk, which is managed as part of the operational risk. In addition, we are focusing on preventing long work hours, such as by implementing excessive work interviews by industrial physicians and examinations by the Health Committee.
