SMBC Group is developing a workplace that enables senior employees to remain active longer by leveraging their rich experiences and skills.
Expansion of the support system
SMBC has implemented a system that extends the retirement age to 65, enabling employees to pursue a variety of challenges throughout their lifetime.
| Voluntary application system | We actively implement our voluntary application system to support employees in pursuing the work challenges they desire. |
|---|---|
| Support system for second careers | To support employees who choose to take on challenges through voluntary work at other companies, we offer a second career support payment, which includes a bonus severance package. |
| Dual-career Support system | We have introduced a flexible system that allows employees over the age of 60 to work a three-day work week, promoting a better balance between personal life and side jobs. |
Career support program
For employees who have reached the designated age, we provide a program at each Group companies that explains the system post-compulsory retirement and offers guidance on mindset adjustment. In addition to messages from top management expressing their expectations, we also offer a program that encourages employees to envision their future and explore new ways of working.
