The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) established the Shining Telework Award in 2015 to further promote and disseminate telework.
We received the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Special Encouragement Award" in FY2019 as a company that makes various ingenious efforts to introduce telework, which serves as a model for other companies and organizations.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) established the 100 Telework Pioneers list in 2015 to further promote the spread of telework.
In 2016, 53 organizations were designated “telework pioneers,” and, among them, we were selected as one of the 100 Telework Pioneers for our proactive efforts, especially with regard to the frequency, target scale, and implementation rate of telework.
The Japan Telework Association has been running the Telework Promotion Award commendation program since 2000 with the aim of further promoting the spread of telework, which enables flexible work styles, unrestricted by location or time, through the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In FY 2016, the 17th year of the competition, a total of 11 companies and organizations received awards under the theme of “Aiming to Reform the Way We Work through Telework,” and we received the Encouragement Award.
The MIC, in cooperation with the MHLW, launched the Telework promotion enterprise network in order to expand the number of companies introducing telework. They established a system to introduce specific initiatives that can be used as a reference by companies that are considering introducing the system, such as technical measures and innovations for internal penetration. We agree with the idea and joined the initiative.
