Lumirise, a project to promote the advancement of women in the workplace
WingArc1st is working on Lumirise, a project to promote the advancement of women in the workplace, with the goal to improve the Group's "organizational capabilities".
WingArc1st believes that highly competent personnel are those who can make a significant contribution to the organization. As women's participation in the workforce continues to increase, the key to the Group's future growth will be how it can empower women to play more prominent roles in the company.
To achieve this, the Group is working on initiatives to identify current issues and to close the gender gap, namely through projects to promote the advancement of women in the workplace.
These initiatives aim to create an innovative organization where both men and women can work on an equal footing and grow sustainably.
Training for the advancement of women in the workplace
As the modernity continues to drive change, the way we work changed dramatically. The rate and complexity of this change makes it difficult to gather information.
As Japan begins to move towards a 100-year life society, WingArc1st conducts training that provide our personnel with opportunities to plan their future career paths in view of the skills we need to acquire now and anticipated changes in women's lifestyles.
Health seminars for women
WingArc1st hosts seminars to help women deepen their understanding about changes in the body unique to women.
These seminars are full of information related to the importance of maintaining a nutritious diet, regular exercise, gynecological health, and checkups.
waffle, a support program for employees trying to conceive
- Financial assistance for fertility consultations and treatment by doctors
- Female employees may use special leave once a month (paid) when visiting the hospital for fertility treatments

WingArc1st supports employees trying to conceive through these initiatives.
Action plans for childcare support

Activities to promote the advancement of older personnel
It is expected that Japan's demographic profile will continue its aging trend into the future.
To promote the active participation of older personnel, WingArc1st has established a reemployment scheme for employees who have reached retirement age. WingArc1st aims to create an environment where older personnel can continue to be engaged in the company's activities, holding seminars on life planning and health, to encourage them to remain involved even after retirement.
Promotion of people with disabilities in the workforce
Employment of people with disabilities at WingArc1st
- Create a workplace where workers can work continuously with a sense of fulfillment and connection to society
- Create a workplace that the entire company can empathize with and be proud of
- Align with WingArc1st's sustainability strategies to contribute to the enhancement of corporate value
We are working towards a new model that will create diverse added value.
Initiatives for the employment of people with disabilities
In order to create diverse roles and places for people with different characteristics, we have added an office in Okinawa to conduct activities rooted in the region using agriculture welfare (agriculture x welfare).
By taking advantage of Okinawa's unique warm climate, we can generate revenue and diversify sales with less lead time, expand farming options to include vegetables, tropical fruits, and vanilla, and create flexible business opportunities for people with disabilities. We also hope to address local challenges such as employment, poverty, children's problems, and other social issues faced by Okinawa. We hope to solve them together through our initiatives.
