KANADEN sponsored the 2021 Formula SAE Japan competition (19th) held by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan, Inc. Based on the assumption that participating universities are start-up companies developing a racing car, students compete in a formula-style racing car that they build themselves.

Positive Work Environment
Our efforts to “create a culture and scheme in which diverse individuals can demonstrate their performances to the full” have involved introducing various programs in striving to create workplace environments that are supportive of employees who embrace a stance of taking on new challenges.
Welfare
Child care support
The Company provides a certain level of financial support for raising children from the moment of birth to graduation from university.
Educational Support
The Company offers a certain level of financial support for employees with children at university, junior college and vocational school in consideration of the heavy economic burden.
Introduction of childcare leave
The Company introduced a distinctive childcare leave program.
Established for employees planning to have a child and employees raising children prior to the child’s entry into elementary school, the program allows such employees to take up to five days off per year for each child in addition to their annual paid leave, for the sake of enabling such employees to support a spouse’s childbirth and to assume childcare responsibilities.
In addition, we also have a flextime system for employees who are raising children up through the sixth grade (up through the third grade mandated by law), thereby enabling employees who are fathers and mothers to make the most of their abilities.
Voice of Employees
Actions for enhancing workplace environments
To create workplace environments that develop and energize diverse personnel, we are working to develop internal programs that workers are able to take advantage of according to the events in their lives, such as the birth of a child or their raising children. They include a maternity and paternity leave program and a childcare leave program. We are also introducing a hot desking system in our offices to stimulate natural communication between employees and a teleworking program that enables them to work in any place.
Changing the ICT environment to improve efficiency and productivity
We are pushing ahead with the KANADEN DX project. In this project, we are reviewing business systems, introducing operations support systems to increase operational efficiency and working to improve data analysis and utilization functions.
We are also enriching communication tools and constructing a teleworking environment to encourage flexible workstyles.
Employee Shareholding Association
The employee shareholding association is a system for helping employees with regular acquisition and holding of the Company's shares and with medium- and long-term asset building. The Company provides its employees affiliated with the association with an incentive amounting to 10% of the cost for share acquisition.
Currently, the association has over 80% of employees as members and is the fourth largest shareholder of the Company.
Life Plan Support Program
For helping employees with asset building for a stable life after retirement, the Company started paying a life plan allowance in addition to the defined benefit industrial pension. It has also introduced a defined contribution pension system in order to improve the environment that allows its employees to work without anxiety.
