Kids' Space to be added to Xymax's Choku Choku… Mobile Work Office
A collaborative experiment with Recruit Holdings and Mama Square will start
Xymax Corporation (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masafumi
Shimada) (hereinafter "Xymax"), together with Mama Square Inc. (hereinafter "MamaSquare"), will be supporting the experiment conducted by Recruit Holdings (hereinafter"Recruit Holdings"). This experiment, which will be held at Xymax's Mobile Work Office
Choku Choku… Shinagawa Higashiguchi, examines the effectiveness of workplace whereemployees can bring their kids. Recruit Holdings is a member company of Xymax's MobileWork Office.
Thanks to the progress in ICT, working away from company's main office is now becoming
part of everyday work. At the same time companies are trying to find a way to use workers
of different backgrounds because the working-age population is declining. Under suchcircumstances, Xymax started the workplace service business since April this year. "MobileWork Office Choku Choku…" is where business persons, who are away from the company'soffice, can work by using mobile devices safely. Our approximately 30 Choku Choku… offices
are located near terminal stations of Tokyo and nearby prefectures.

Recruit Holdings, one of the clients of Xymax's Mobile Work Office, is working on to change
the way of work of their employees. Xymax and Mama Square will collaborate and take partin the "Satellite Office with Kids' Space" experiment of Recruit Holdings. The experiment isconducted based on the challenge recognized by Recruit Holdings: "It is important to build
an environment for employees with small children by removing their fear in balancing workand household tasks or childcare and by reducing their burden so that the employees canfully exercise their ability even with a limited time frame". More specifically, we are going tohave a kids' space within our Choku Choku… Shinagawa Higashiguchi and the Mama
Square's childcare staff will be there to look after the kids so that Recruit Holdings'
employees can work there and look over their children through the glass wall.
The effectiveness of this new working style as a choice for workers with small children will be
examined by each company: Xymax is to examine it from the view of suggesting ideas offlexible workplaces, which are suitable for new working styles, to companies; Mama Square isto examine it from the view of providing full-fledged services for school-age kids in addition
to their current services for preschoolers; and Recruit Holdings is to examine it for its
employees.
If proven effective, Xymax will use the result and know-how obtained from this experiment,
expand the service to companies other than Recruit Group, and consider having kids' spacesin other Choku Choku… offices too.
