Major Measures
Systems to Support Diverse and Efficient Working Styles
Workstyle transformation over the years
Calbee New Workstyle
Calbee launched the Calbee New Workstyle for office staff in July 2020. With appreciation for the diverse lifestyles of employees, each employee can act with a sense of ownership and choose the location and hours of their work according to the objectives of their jobs. We are also utilizing IT tools to increase the quality and speed of work-related communication in order to improve productivity and maximize output.
Workstyle that transcend time and location
Calbee has launched the following initiatives as part of Calbee New Workstyle.
- Standardizing mobile work
As we standardize mobile work, employees can choose between mobile work and office work (in-person) on their own initiative, bolstering both productivity and creativity - Implementation of the flextime system
Having eliminated core time, individual employees can now live more fulfilling lifestyles while also achieving even better performance.
All of our employees can flexibly utilize work times and locations on their own to set the right working hours and enjoy an even more fulfilling work-life balance.
Initiatives to foster a “tenacious sense of ownership” and change behavior
With individual employees able to flexibly choose their own workstyles, we are simultaneously seeking to raise the speed and quality of work while continuously producing results and creating value. To accomplish this, it is essential to change the attitude and behavior of each employee, and rethink how we work and communicate. In an effort to change attitudes and behaviors, we are fostering a culture conducive to higher productivity. This includes implementing more and better IT tools, while organizing company-wide awareness activities and learning opportunities to boost IT usage skills and literacy, and sharing case examples of efforts at workplaces and by individuals.
Head office renovation
Workstyles for office workers might include mobile work, but generally it is also very important for them to work and communicate together face-to-face. With this in mind, we renovated our head office under the theme of “Spaces for new value creation emphasizing communication.” In addition to everyday communication between employees, we aim to generate value through interactive communication in situations where face-to-face dialogues are important. These include discussions that add momentum to projects, following up on employees who have recently joined the company or the division, and building relationships with customers.
Calbee Group Health and Productivity Management
Based on the idea that the health of employees and their families is an essential component of corporate growth, since 2016 the Calbee Group has been engaged in full-scale health and productivity management activities promoting health maintenance, including smoking cessation programs and lifestyle improvements involving diet and exercise. We aim to be a healthy company possessed with the motivation to take on new challenges that facilitates spirited and energetic work enabling employees and their families to live physically and mentally healthy and prosperous lives.
Health and Productivity Management Structure

We are working on creating a structure for conducting activities that promote physical and mental health so that employees can engage in spirited and energetic work.
