Initially, the goal was to reopen in April of the following year.[5] In June 2016, the company aimed to reopen in November 2017 ahead of the town’s scheduled repatriation in April.[6] However,  according to the company’s website, the site remains closed.[4]Daiyu Eight locations in Iwaki and Asakawa were also flooded during the 2011 T\u014dhoku earthquake and tsunami. In October, 2019, the company announced plans to reopen these stores; Asakawa in November 2019 and Iwaki in December 2019.[7][8][9]On May 12, 2020, President Asakura led the opening ceremony of an internet-based product distribution center in Kuroiwa, Fukushima City. The warehouse is said to be about ten times larger than previous locations. The number of staff was also increased, from twenty to thirty personnel. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, President Asakura expressed that he would like to expand the company’s online functions.[10][11]The company expanded its “One Cycle” franchise in 2020 with the establishment of “One’s Cycle Fukushima Moriai” (\u30ef\u30f3\u30ba\u30b5\u30a4\u30af\u30eb\u798f\u5cf6\u68ee\u5408\u5e97) in Fukushima City.In 2021, Daiyu Eight Co Ltd opened three more stores; “Office Eight Yamagata Hakusan” (\u30aa\u30d5\u30a3\u30b9\u30a8\u30a4\u30c8\u5c71\u5f62\u767d\u5e97) in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture; “One’s Cycle Fukushima Kamata” (\u30ef\u30f3\u30ba\u30b5\u30a4\u30af\u30eb\u798f\u5cf6\u938c\u7530\u5e97) in Fukushima City; “Daiyu Eight Iwaki Yumoto” (\u30c0\u30a4\u30e6\u30fc\u30a8\u30a4\u30c8\u3044\u308f\u304d\u6e6f\u672c\u5e97) in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.[4]Project Promoting Women in the Workplace[edit]As of January 2016, the company operated 100 store locations and employed over 2,000 people, including both full-time and part-time workers. While the number of full-time employees who were male was notably higher than those who were female, only 9% of part-time workers were women, and only six women had been promoted to the position of shop manager.To better understand these numbers, and with the stated goal of creating a workplace where all employees are enthusiastic about their work and are able to fully demonstrate their abilities, the company launched a project promoting women in the workplace (\u5973\u6027\u6d3b\u8e8d\u63a8\u9032\u30d7\u30ed\u30b8\u30a7\u30af\u30c8) in September 2015. A survey was distributed to employees that included questions concerning individuals’ satisfaction with their professional duties, hopes for the future, and what would be necessary for them to continue their work after marriage and childbirth, referencing the Japanese tradition of women becoming housewives. Most women surveyed stated that they would prefer to maintain their current roles within the company, forgoing promotion in order to focus on household affairs. Daiyu Eight’s policy stipulates that employees will be considered for promotion to management positions after ten years with the company. However, this timing overlaps with the age at which many female employees get married and begin having children. The rate at which women retired from Daiyu Eight after about ten years of employment was even higher than the industry average.[12]References[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki21\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki21\/daiyu-eight-co-ltd-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Daiyu Eight Co Ltd – Wikipedia"}}]}]
