Astellas Pharma Inc. Recruit

We strive to create a workplace where all employees working at Astellas are empowered and engaged regardless of gender identity. We foster an organizational culture in which individuals and the organization can grow together and enrich both our work and life to fulfill the lives of each and every employee.
We offer extensive systems, in particular, support of cohabitation at marriage, limited work location system, childcare leave and short hours work system that exceeds legal requirements, and paid paternity leave system for male employees. We are creating an environment that encourages our employees to fully utilize these systems by enriching contents on the intranet and holding events to raise awareness.
To nurture a culture of openness, we hold "Open Cafe" both online and in person, as an opportunity for employees to network with each other. The Cafe is open to everyone, and is a regular opportunity to share concerns, meet role models, and think about their careers. Out top management also participate in these sessions to together promote a culture of openness.

In particular, we have harmonized the processes of talent management worldwide, including grade structure, job evaluation, recruitment, and human resource development, in order to realize "place the right person in the right position" on a global scale. In addition, we newly established “Organizational Health Goals” in Corporate Strategic Plan 2021（CSP 2021）*.
