Work/Life Balance
UNIQLO encourages employees to take their paid leave, reduce overtime and maintain their health in an effort to develop safe and comfortable workplaces for every worker.
Expanding vacations
We designate four days each week as “no overtime days” at the Headquarters to reduce extended working hours and increase productivity. The support of the entire company is enlisted behind this effort, divisions and individuals that frequently engage in overtime work are monitored, and individual guidance is provided to these locations and workers.
Furthermore, we have set aside 16 days of special leave in addition to normal paid leave for regular employees and consistently encourage them to take their days off.
Implementing four “no overtime days” each week
With regard to health management, we regularly raise employee awareness through initiatives such as a monthly dissemination of health information via e-mail and consultation services. We also offer an external consultation service that supports mental well-being.
Industrial accidents
UNIQLO is working to raise the safety awareness of employees in order to prevent injuries and accidents during commuting or work.
Most workplace injuries were related to the use of a sewing machine for altering trousers. We will continue to educate our employees through in-house communication and store manager training sessions conducted on a regular basis to prevent accidents from recurring.
