Nursing Care Seminars and Cancer Treatment SeminarsI7

Toshiba Corporation

Due to changes in family makeup and increase of two-income households, more employees are expected to need to take care of elderly family members while working full time. In FY2012, Toshiba conducted a fact-finding survey on nursing care, which revealed a strong need for information on nursing care among employees. In response, we held nursing care seminars per business site from FY2015 for Toshiba Group employees in Japan, with a cumulative total of 239 seminars conducted in the ten years up to FY2024. In FY2020, we also started a cancer treatment seminar to support employees balancing between cancer treatment and work, which was later shifted to a live-streaming format, and held the seminar six times in total (45 business sites participated) in FY2024.
In FY2024, we held a seminar on supporting work-life balance for employees with caregiving responsibilities entitled “Learning from Case Studies: Building Secure and Strong Teams from a Mutual Perspective.” More than 1,000 employees participated, both in person and online. External lecturers presented various case studies and shared practical tips on creating safe, resilient workplaces and teams - not only for employees directly involved in caregiving but for their colleagues.
