Rohto Pharmaceutical and the Rohto Pharmaceutical Labor Union have established a "Well-being Workstyle Review Committee"

Background to the establishment of the "Well-being Workstyle Review Committee"

Since its founding, Rohto Pharmaceutical has considered each and every employee who supports the company and has implemented systems and measures to promote well-being in the workplace. Furthermore, the Rohto Pharmaceutical Labor Union was established in 1947 with the aim of contributing to the development of society by establishing an autonomous organization by its members and promoting the democratization of the company. Since then, through various committees whose members are selected from both Rohto Pharmaceutical and the Rohto Pharmaceutical Labor Union, information exchange on corporate activities and joint labor-management consultations are regularly held, and efforts are being made to develop various systems and foster a corporate culture that contributes to society and enables employees to do better work.
Furthermore, a new system was launched on September 1, 2023, with the appointment of Rohto's first female Central Executive Committee Chairperson *1. As the company expands its business areas and employees' working styles become more diverse, the number of employees with different values and backgrounds is also increasing. In order to further accelerate the practice of well-being in the workplace, the Rohto Labor Union proposed the establishment of the "Well-being Workstyle Review Committee," which led to this committee's creation. Moving forward, we will continue to build better labor-management relations and consider, implement, and support systems and measures to enable employees to work with enthusiasm.

*1: Scheduled to be formally appointed by resolution at the Central Conference on December 1st.

Message from the Central Executive Committee Chairperson

Central Executive Committee Chairman
Natsuko Ueno

I started working at Rohto Pharmaceutical as a temporary employee in 2005, and since joining the company as a contract employee in 2006, I have been working in the Customer Support Center, handling customer inquiries by phone and other means. Rohto Pharmaceutical believes that well-being management is the source of company growth, and has a culture that is generous with company-sponsored events and health initiatives. In such an environment, I wanted to do more than just accept what the company gives us, but also to proactively propose and communicate ideas from the employees' side, which led to the establishment of a labor-management cooperation committee.
To deliver uncompromisingly good products to our customers, it is essential that the creators themselves are in the best possible state of well-being. Towards realizing ROHTO Group Comprehensive Management Vision 2030, "Connect for Well-being," we are creating a space where diverse perspectives can be freely exchanged.
I will proceed.
