Admin’s Note

I believe that the revision of the transfer system at Sompo Japan is a very significant change for employees. For those with families, having the option to choose whether or not to transfer will provide a great sense of security. I hope that the company’s consideration of employees’ lives and family circumstances will directly contribute to securing talent in the future. It would be wonderful if this trend spreads to other companies, allowing more people to enjoy a more accommodating work environment.
