FUJIFILM Case Study

In parallel to partnering with triiyo, Fujifilm took part in the Career Revive Program, an initiative by the Australian Government, Workforce Australia and KPMG designed to support businesses to attract and retain women returning to work after a career break. 

Fujifilm are making significant headway with regards to gender equity; they have increased their female workforce to 29%, an increase from 27% over the last 2 years. 

triiyo’s gender-neutral Parental Leave Journey is part of their parental leave benefits package to support parents returning to work and to encourage men to take parental leave. This was an important consideration in their male-dominated environment as it would contribute to reducing bias for women taking parental leave and help to attract the younger generation that will make up their future workforce. 

Mollie Read, HR Generalist at FUJIFILM explains “triiyo has enabled us to assist our employees at Fujifilm through their parental leave journey, from the early stages of pregnancy, right through to their return to work, and allows our people to stay connected to their colleagues and the company whilst on leave. The platform has a plethora of useful resources to assist both employees and their managers throughout this journey."

We're delighted that triiyo was included in their Career Revive Action Plan to support their commitment to removing barriers and improve company culture for parents, employees transitioning to retirement, taking personal leave and career breaks. 

Well done Fujifilm for achieving Bronze Status, a huge achievement with significant outcomes already realised. We love working with organisations making a difference and taking direct action to increase female representation and improve the experience of women in the workforce.
