Initiatives for creating space

Initiatives to create a safe and secure space

Labor practicesEnvironmentConsumer issues

In order to realize a space that is comfortable, easy to use, safe and secure for everyone, the entire company is working together to create a better space. We also continue to take measures to improve quality technology, such as holding construction technology review meetings.

Employee training to improve technical expertise

Education for Production Professionals

We provide "professional skill training for production staff" on "laws and regulations," "safety," and "construction" with the aim of improving the quality and skills of production staff. We also hold seminars for production staff with the aim of meeting customer needs and improving satisfaction by calling attention to safety and quality management at the planning stage and on-site.

Education for designers and planners

We provide technical learning opportunities to review the key points of "design basics," "regulations," and "facilities" that designers and planners need to know in order to proceed with their work, and to avoid problems and risks from the design stage. In addition, we hold technical seminars for designers four times a year with the aim of strengthening their engineering skills.

Education for young employees

As part of the training for new employees, we provide technical training programs on laws, regulations, prohibited matters, special management matters, electricity, machinery, etc. In addition, we are working to improve the technical skills of young employees by providing them with opportunities for construction consultations and on-site guidance on projects they are in charge of.

Initiatives to improve the safety and quality of spaces

Implementation of "Construction Technology Review Meeting"

Before construction begins, we check the construction plan and safety plan, consider key management items and measures for prohibited items and special management items in terms of safety and quality, and hold "construction technology review meetings" with the aim of eliminating complaints, troubles, disasters and accidents and ensuring smooth construction. We strive to ensure quality by pointing out and extracting issues and problems in space creation, and by confirming laws and regulations, verifying structures and confirming construction methods.

Sharing information on safety and quality

At the monthly "Safety and Health Committee," we analyze and share claims and maintenance reports, and strive to prevent recurrence, as well as consolidate information on quality and technology improvement, and provide coordination, instructions, and guidance to the relevant departments. In addition, we have created a site on the company intranet dedicated to safety and quality that consolidates technical knowledge and information, and share information widely, and we also regularly review the "Safety Handbook."

Providing educational opportunities

Every year, we provide seven types of qualification training: special training in scaffolding assembly, special training in low-voltage electricity, training for scaffolding inspection practitioners, training for foremen and safety managers, training for general managers, training to improve the skills of foremen and safety managers, and special training in full harnesses. We have established a system in which not only approximately 450 production staff, but also technical partners and cooperating companies can take the courses, providing a wide range of educational opportunities to improve safety and quality.

Promoting Universal Design

Consumer Issues Community

Based on the Tanseisha Group Code of Conduct "6. Building relationships of trust with customers and space users" and the Environmental Consideration design item "Universal Design," we promote the creation of universal design spaces that are comfortable and easy to use for a wide range of users, including the elderly, children, people with disabilities, and foreigners.
In addition to universal design in terms of both soft and hard aspects, we strive to practice "universal design of the heart."
Since 2018, we have partnered with Mirairo Co., Ltd., a company that specializes in universal design consulting, to create facilities that incorporate universal design.
In addition, we have developed a multilingual app called "T-VOIX" that uses UV codes * to provide information translated into various languages in text and audio in offline environments, and we are working to have this app adopted by cultural facilities throughout Japan.
Additionally, we are continually collecting information about universal design and sharing it on our company intranet.

*UV Code: "Uni-Voice" is a voice code developed by the Japan Association for the Dissemination of Information for the Visually Impaired (JAVIS), a non-profit organization.

Examples of spaces that take universal design into consideration
"Ikei Pharmacy Yanaka Store"

Together with Mirairo Co., Ltd., a universal design consulting company, we carried out on-site surveys and verifications, aiming to create a space that took into consideration the width of the aisles, the wheelchair space in the waiting area, the dimensions and shape of the prescription counter, and the location of assistants. In addition, in the lobby, we placed bookshelves that also function as partitions at a height that can be easily used by people of all ages, from children to the elderly. In the sales corner, we also installed a counseling counter and beauty salon booths to help people become truly healthy.

New employee training "Human Resource Development Project"

Labor Practices

We have been conducting our original practical training for new recruits, the "Human Resources Development Project," since 2005. This training consists of "Introductory Training" and "Business Handbook," which allow new recruits to get to know the company and learn the basic knowledge necessary for business operations, and "Product Creation," which allows new recruits to put manufacturing into practice.
The core program of this training, "Product Production," aims for new recruits to work in teams while experiencing various difficulties through actual manufacturing, gaining basic knowledge according to the characteristics of the job, and preparing for practical work after being assigned. Through consensus building and relationship building with stakeholders, and managing quality, costs, and delivery dates, new recruits experience difficulties similar to those encountered in the workplace, overcoming them as if they were their own problem, and seeing the product through to completion, thereby gaining their first experience of success. At the exhibitions that have been held since 2011, new recruits are able to showcase their learning and growth through products created together with leading designers and first-class craftsmen, while also conveying the company's attitude and commitment to developing its employees.

Creating a comfortable working environment

Promoting work-life balance

In addition to the "telework system" and "flextime system" that allows employees to freely decide their working hours for all employees, we have introduced a short-time work system that is not based on childcare or nursing care reasons, and aim to improve productivity and well-being by promoting work-life balance. In addition, we are taking measures such as introducing sick leave and infertility treatment leave so that capable and motivated employees can balance their work with their family and private lives and choose various working styles, creating a workplace where diverse human resources can work comfortably and demonstrate their abilities, and promoting work style reform.

Childcare and nursing care support

Labor Practices

We are working on improving our system to increase the rate of employees taking childcare leave, shortening working hours for employees who are raising children, encouraging employees to take annual paid leave, and partnering with company-run daycare centers. We have also established a "Family Friendly Promotion Committee" with the aim of supporting the development of the next generation, and are working to promote activities that allow for diverse work styles through support such as setting up a consultation desk for childcare and elderly care and holding elderly care seminars. In 2007, we obtained the next-generation certification mark (nicknamed "Kurumin").

Promoting work style reform

Labor Practices

We have set a goal of reducing long working hours and are working across the company to achieve it. We have also established a Work Style Reform Promotion Committee to review work styles and the office environment.

Development of IT environment

In order to streamline operations and improve productivity, we are providing employees with work devices that match their working styles, as well as improving our IT environment by introducing RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and AI chatbots, and digitizing and going paperless for purchasing transactions and internal application documents and procedures.

Streamlining business processes

With the aim of streamlining our internal business processes, we are also working to utilize unique digital tools tailored to each job type and task, such as expanding our dedicated information database for production positions and introducing a document creation navigation system.

Improving the office environment

We are creating offices that take into consideration productivity improvement and well-being in line with new ways of working. In the head office office update, we added more facilities for mental, physical and social health, such as a space for relaxation and communication, massage space and play zone (ping pong table and putting mat). We have set up a "distributed network office" to increase contact points between employees without dispersing people. In addition, from the perspective of improving productivity and risk management, we are increasing the options for places to work other than the head office, branch offices, sales offices and home, such as using external shared offices and opening a Yokohama satellite. In addition, we have introduced a free address system at the head office and each branch office, and are improving the office environment by installing web booths that can be used as simple changing rooms as part of our consideration for privacy.

Conducting in-house awareness-raising activities

Through "Work Style Reform NOW," a regular message from the president sent out within the company, we inform employees of the importance of health, as well as the importance of correcting long working hours and being conscious of how we use our time, which are the foundation of health.

Health management and employee benefits initiatives

Labor Practices

We have established a "Health Management Department" as a dedicated department for health promotion, and in addition to providing education to raise awareness and responding to incidents, we are implementing company-wide measures by sharing current data and information. By early detection of mental and physical disorders that can occur to anyone and careful follow-up according to the situation, we are contributing to maintaining the social health of the entire organization.
In addition to conducting regular health checkups and stress checks based on the Industrial Safety and Health Act, we also provide comprehensive medical checkups, women's health checkups to prevent diseases specific to women, influenza vaccinations, interviews with industrial physicians, online counseling, etc. In addition to holding "self-care training" for all employees and "line care training" for managers, we are also working to raise employee awareness by visualizing vacation acquisition status in real time, which will lead to promoting vacation acquisition.
We have introduced Group Long-Term Disability Insurance (GLTD) and Group Medical Insurance as employee benefit programs to protect the lives of employees and their families from unforeseen work-related disabilities, allowing them to focus on recovery with peace of mind and support their early return to work.

Initiatives to improve employee engagement

Labor Practices

Tanseisha has been conducting employee opinion surveys every two years since 2016. We consider this survey important in order to continue being a "good company" that balances "employee happiness at work" with "high performance" and to become an even better company. Based on the survey results, we link them to environmental improvement activities for the whole company and each department. In addition, with the aim of strengthening communication between employees and improving engagement, we also promote communication with employees' families by publishing the in-house newsletter "TANSEI-zine" and holding family days where employees' families can tour the office.

In order to improve engagement across the entire group, we hold a walking event called "Tansei Telewalk" using a pedometer app, hold joint induction ceremonies and training for new recruits, and proactively disseminate information within the company and to group companies. Furthermore, we hold an annual awards ceremony to recognize the work performance and results of employees, including those in group companies, and outstanding design activities.

This event was held in collaboration with the local government and companies based in the Shibaura Konan area, and as part of social contribution activities in the area, we provided an opportunity for diverse people to gather, interact, and understand each other in the city center under the theme of "Realizing an understanding of diversity and a symbiotic society in the community."
