  • Notes:
  • 1. Coverage: Inabata & Co. (including employees seconded to Group companies)
  • 2. As of the end of each fiscal year (March 31)
  • *1 The figures for each fiscal year are as of June 1 of the following fiscal year.
  • *2 The gender wage gap is calculated as the ratio of female to male wages.
    “All employees” refers to regular employees and non-regular employees.
    “Regular employees” includes employees in three position categories: “Professionals,” which refers to those in management positions engaged in core duties; “Staff,” which refers to those in non-management positions engaged in core duties; and “Assistants,” which refers to those engaged mainly in support duties. Senior positions are calculated in accordance with their respective grades and divided into the three aforementioned position categories.
    “Non-regular employees” includes unretired senior employees working on a fixed-term contract or special fixed-term contract but excludes temporary employees. The difference in wages between men and women is due to the difference in the personnel composition by position and the difference in the personnel composition for qualification classifications (“bands”).
  • *3 Under the Company’s childcare leave system, leave can be taken until the child reaches three years of age. Therefore, the number of employees taking leave in FY2024 includes those whose own child or spouse’s child was born between FY2022 and FY2024. The leave utilization rate is calculated as: Number of employees who took childcare leave in FY2024 (among those whose own child or spouse’s child was born between FY2022 and FY2024) / Number of employees whose own child or spouse’s child was born between FY2022 and FY2024.
  • *4 In FY2023, we introduced a new system making childcare leave mandatory. Accordingly, the number of employees who took leave and the utilization rate are calculated within three years from the birth of the employee’s or their spouse’s child. For FY2024, these figures are calculated for employees whose own child or spouse’s child was born in FY2023 and who took leave in either FY2023 or FY2024.
