Diverse working styles and Benefits

We provide systems and various support for diverse working styles so that all employees can perform at their best.

Diverse working styles

At SHIONOGI, we believe that embracing diverse values and blending human resources will be a new driving force for innovation. We respect each individual’s uniqueness, support career growth and skill development, aiming to create safe and secure workplaces that enable diverse work styles. We have introduced a system that enhances flexibility in work styles so that each of our employees can maximize their capabilities, and to encourage voluntary re-skilling, we are further expanding our self-investment support. We are also working on institutional reforms that support diverse work styles, such as the selectable four-day workweeks, revising regular working hours, and easing side‑job rules.
