Since first receiving certification in 2020, Dongyang Life Insurance has continuously strengthened its family-friendly management practices. Following an extension of its certification period in 2023, the company has now been re-certified this year, recognizing its consistent implementation of family-friendly policies and the results achieved.


Dongyang Life Insurance operates a variety of programs to help employees maintain a healthy work-life balance and enjoy a fulfilling life outside of work.


Every Wednesday is designated as "Sweet Home Day," allowing employees to leave work one hour earlier than usual. The company has introduced a "PC-OFF" policy, which automatically shuts down personal computers after working hours, to improve the culture of unnecessary overtime. A flexible work system is also in place, enabling employees to adjust their start times according to their individual situations. Additionally, employees can use annual leave in one-hour increments, making it easier to manage personal schedules. Other family-friendly benefits include support for family health checkups, family care leave, events inviting employees' children, and gifts for employees with children preparing for exams.



A representative from Dongyang Life Insurance stated, "This re-certification as a family-friendly company is a recognition of our ongoing efforts to promote work-life balance," adding, "We will continue to expand and improve our family-friendly programs so that our employees can enjoy healthier and more balanced lives between work and family."
