Making the Workplace Safe and Comfortable

To promote work/life balance, the head office and the Tokyo headquarters designated Wednesday and Friday of every week as “no overtime days.” Since March 2007, this has been expanded to Tuesday to Friday. Moreover, UNIQLO encourages its employees to take their paid vacation days by keeping track of each employee’s vacation plans and actual days taken off.

Since September 2006, UNIQLO stores have set an upper limit on the amount of overtime work in a month as a means to improve effi ciency.

We keep accurate records of workplace accidents and prepare reports on a regular basis so that everyone remains aware of the need to be careful at all times. All employees must have an annual physical check-up. With regard to mental health, we have set up a special organization outside the company and a system in which employees can freely go for private consultations, advice, etc. with complete privacy.
