Employment of People with Disabilities and Seniors
As of the end of March 2016, a total of 336 employees with disabilities, including 40 new recruits for fiscal 2015, worked at the Group's three life insurance companies, which account for 2.27 percent of the total number of employees. We will continue working to create a workplace environment that encourages and supports people with disabilities to work comfortably and promote employment of the disabled. The Group's three life insurance companies have introduced a re-employment program for employees reaching the mandatory retirement age. Under this program, individuals can be re-hired up to the age of 65.
