What is the work environment at ASCA really like?

Hello!

In this article, we will introduce ASCA's work environment and systems.
The hallmark of working at ASCA is, above all, "flexibility."
However, this does not simply mean that we advocate for a free-for-all way of working.
Each employee manages their work autonomously as a professional, values collaboration with the team, and makes the most of that flexibility—this environment is a major appeal of ASCA.
Now, let's introduce the specific systems that ASCA offers.

Strong support for working moms and dads

At ASCA, more than 50% of our employees are women. This is a ratio about four times higher than that of our male employees.
Therefore, we have well-established systems to support the balance between childcare and work.

The acquisition rate for childcare leave and maternity/paternity leave is 100%.
This is not limited to women; male employees also actively take this leave.
After returning to work, many members continue to work while balancing their home lives by utilizing shortened working hours and flextime systems.

We have also published interview articles with working moms who have actually utilized these systems.
Please be sure to check out their real voices.

Introduction of a work-from-home system

At ASCA, we have realized a flexible work style that incorporates remote work.
Employees can work from home about two days a week, depending on their individual tasks and schedules.

However, working from home is not "working as you please."
It requires self-management skills to produce solid results and smooth communication with the team.

We also value time for face-to-face interaction and team building by coming into the office when necessary.

Whether remote or in the office,
we have an environment in place where you can perform at your best by choosing the optimal way of working for each situation.

Flexible time management with the flextime system

ASCA has introduced a flextime system.
The core time is 10:00 to 16:00, and the standard is a 7-hour and 30-minute workday.
For example, you can set your hours to match your lifestyle, such as an early shift from 8:00 to 16:30 or a standard shift from 10:00 to 18:30.

You can arrange your schedule to suit your individual life, such as for childcare, nursing care, or medical appointments.
Of course, this also means "freedom equals responsibility."
While maintaining coordination with the team, each person schedules their time to maximize their performance.

Consultations regarding work location are also possible

In addition to our Osaka headquarters, ASCA also has a Tokyo branch.
Consultations regarding work location are possible depending on an employee's lifestyle or family circumstances.
In fact, there have been cases where employees changed their work location from Osaka to Tokyo due to reasons such as a spouse's transfer or childcare.

However, we cannot grant every request in every case.
We consider each request individually while taking into account business conditions and position requirements.

Summary: Flexibility × Professionalism

At ASCA, we have flexible systems in place, such as a 100% childcare/maternity leave acquisition rate, flextime, and work-from-home options.
However, to make the most of these systems, autonomous work management and a relationship of trust with the team are essential.

Because it is an environment where you can work flexibly, professionalism is required—that is the ASCA way of working.

Currently, ASCA is actively recruiting for the position of "Translation Consultant."
It is the perfect environment for those who seek flexibility in their work style while also wanting to engage in their work with professionalism and a sense of responsibility.
