Startups are implementing systems to make it easier for male employees to take childcare leave. In response to recent legal changes, a range of support systems have been introduced, including financial aid of up to 700,000 yen during childcare leave. Companies are also finding ways to cover for employees on leave, such as regularly having multiple people share responsibilities for the same role. The goal is to create a supportive work environment and attract top talent.
