Working towards a work environment that cultivates active role engagement for our employees

At TEPSCO, we continually strive to create a work environment that nurtures a work-life balance for our employees, recognizing that each individual has their own way of working and their own way of living. The lives of each and every one of our employees are at the forefront of our goal for workstyle reforms, as well as creating an environment that cultivates active role engagement of female members.
