Figures for previous fiscal years have been restated following changes in the calculation method of the number of persons including medical professional instituted in FY2022.
Figures are as of June 1 of each fiscal year.
Figures are as of April 1 of subsequent fiscal year. The calculation method has been changed from fiscal year 2022, and figures from previous years have also been restated accordingly.
Items subject to calculation of the gender wage gap: Monthly salary (base pay, secondment allowance, separate living allowance, teleworking allowance, overtime work allowance, late-night premium allowance for managers, bonus) Reason for gap: The gender pay gap at our company is primarily attributable to structural differences in the ratio of female managers. In particular, when comparing employees within the same grade level—such as department general managers, team leaders, and subleaders—there is no disparity in treatment based on gender. In 2022, we integrated career courses and eliminated the rigorous course-based career system. This transition enabled a more flexible career development framework tailored to individual skills, capabilities, and aspiration. We are also reinforcing appointment and promotion practices based on job responsibilities and performance. Through these initiatives, we aim to achieve a female manager ratio of at least 20% by FY2030 and expect a further narrowing of the gender pay gap over the medium to long term.
