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.

At Astellas, we value all employees for who they are. We promote a culture that respects diverse sexualities, sexual orientations, and gender identities, and creates an environment in which all employees can feel safe to be their authentic selves to further create innovation. For example, we are holding workshops and panel discussions with LGBTQ+ employee panelists to foster understanding of the LGBTQ+ employee experience. In addition, starting with the FY2022 Global Engagement Annual Survey, we are expanding the options for sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) to respect diverse sexualities and to understand the engagement of LGBTQ+ employees so that we can take necessary actions.

Astellas aims to realize a workplace where everyone can work with enthusiasm regardless of race, nationality, gender, age, or disability. Astellas strives to provide an equal opportunity and fair employment and to promote the employment of people with disabilities. We develop various systems and working environments to ensure right conditions are in place for employees with disabilities so that they can play an active role. Currently, approximately 100 employees with disabilities are working in various divisions, including the head office, research laboratories, and production plants, while making the most of their full potential.
