SoftBank Technology Corp. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President ＆ CEO: Shinichi Ata, hereinafter referred to as SBT) has been selected as a telework declaration company for FY2019 under the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's telework declaration support project, a measure to promote the spread of telework.

■What is a company that declares telework?
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's Telework Declaration Support Project is in its third year this year, with the aim of promoting the spread of telework by introducing initiatives by companies that are expected to utilize telework. Among the applicant companies that have started or expanded telework this year, we have selected companies that are expected to further utilize telework in the future as "Telework Declaration Companies." The initiatives of the selected companies will be introduced in the form of articles and videos on the "Telework Declaration Support Project Site".

■ SBT 's efforts regarding telework
Trials of SBT 's telework system began in June 2018 after employees said, ``Practicing a diverse work style will lead to better proposals to customers.'' After various discussions led by volunteer employees about the effective use of collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and telework, the system was introduced company-wide in October 2018. Even after its introduction, we are continuing our efforts to further improve operational efficiency and productivity.
We are also participating as a special cooperating organization in "Telework Days 2019," which is being implemented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and other related ministries and agencies and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and are encouraging all employees to work from home and work from home.
