Prevention of Problems
Workplace Management Handbook
Olympus gives a copy of the Workplace Management Handbook to each employee in a managerial position, and he or she is obliged to undergo manager training. The comprehensive guidebook imparts know-how and guidelines on how to make the most of each and every employee's abilities and have the organization function at its optimum.
In addition, the book contains basic rules on labor management, including time management and obligations to ensure employee safety-both of which are in line with the labor law-as well as considerations to the mental health of employees.
Employee Complaint Procedure
As part of the Employee Complaint Procedure, a consultation service has been set up in which consultants answer the complaints of female employees who have been sexually harassed. They keep any information disclosed by harassed employees strictly confidential (such information is disclosed to no one without consent, not even to the manger of the employee filing the complaint) and take appropriate action to solve the problem.
The Sexual Harassment Guidebook is also prepared over the intranet so that all employees know how to handle it. Consultants that deal with other labor problems are also available. If the matter cannot be resolved between the parties directly involved, it will be reviewed by a committee formed by representatives from the company and employees to either find a solution or eliminate the problem. These measures have been effectively implemented.
