The report also highlights overtime reduction as\u00a0one of the company\u2019s biggest short-term goals.\u00a0<\/p>\nWhile the divisions listed above represent a small portion of Sega Sammy Holdings subsidiaries, Sega’s main Japanese development studio is there.<\/p>\n
“The main focus of the Group\u2019s work-style reforms is the achievement of a balance between work and private life,” the report says.<\/p>\n
“We want employees to have quality time outside of the office so that they do not lose their creative drive. Well-established measures that the Group has introduced to reduce long overtime work have produced tangible results.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alongside with the Japanese government’s work-style reform, Sega is also promoting remote work as a possibility for its staff.<\/p>\n
The introduction of new systems aimed at developing a healthier work-life balance is a feat to be proud of, but it’s worth noting that employees can be still work around four extra hours a day without being recorded in these figures provided.\u00a0<\/p>\n
