Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
As a company with strengths in diversity, we have established the "Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee" which is chaired by the President & CEO and is composed of representatives from each unit.
We are promoting the creation of an organization where diverse employees can make the most of their abilities and play an active role.
In terms of systems, in addition to paid nursing care leave and family care leave (a paid leave to support family members who are sick, etc. and need care), we have expanded and enhanced flexibility of childcare leave system for male employees. We are working on building a workplace culture that is understanding and supports a work-life balance. Also, we are working on enriching the system so that all employees can continue to work without worrying about the balance between work and private life.
Furthermore, we have been certified by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare as a "company with excellent initiatives" under the Act on Promotion of Women’s Participation and Advancement in the Workplace, and have been awarded the "Eruboshi" status, creating a work environment where anyone can play an active role regardless of gender.
Employment of Persons with Disabilities
SMBC Trust Bank makes donations to the Japanese Para Sports Association, and contributes to the operations and to the training and strengthening of athletes of the Japan Goalball Association, for which we are the official top partner.
We also work to employ people with disabilities, and ensure that each and every employee is able to demonstrate their best ability.
By striving to provide diverse work opportunities and create a comfortable working environment, we will continue to contribute to the development of para-sports and fulfill our corporate social responsibility.
Work style reform, flexible work styles
In order to promote diverse working styles, we encourage our employees telecommuting and staggered commuting. We are working to increase flexibility in working hours and locations, by raising the maximum number of paid leave days that can be taken in hourly increments, and expanding the number of satellite offices and other locations where telework is possible.
Through monthly engagement surveys and 1-on-1 meetings, we are working to discover issues at each department in a timely manner, and become an organization that can act spontaneously. In addition, to improve productivity through the use of IT, we are promoting the use of RPA to improve operational efficiency. We will strive to increase employee engagement, and create a rewarding workplace by further improving work-life balance and work productivity.
Health and Productivity Management
In FY2024, we established the "KENKO Investment for Health Declaration", and we are working on health and wellness management with the aim of revitalizing the organization by improving the vitality and productivity of employees.
We are working to create a variety of work environments where all employees are physically and mentally healthy, and can work energetically in order to provide high value to our customers. We attempt to achieve this by controlling long work-hours, establishing a health consultation desk, and promoting to participate in running and walking events, held on an SMBC Group basis.
These efforts have been highly evaluated, and we were recognized as a "2025 Outstanding Organizations of KENKO Investment for Health (Large Enterprise Category)".
