In a survey regarding \u201ccomfortable workplaces\u201d run on 1,037 women who visited en-japan Inc\u2019s \u201cEn Women\u2019s Work,\u201d the employment information website for women, the question \u201cWould you say your current workplace is easy to work at?\u201d received 52% responses stating that it was \u201ceasy to work at\u201d (\u201cyes\u201d 15%, \u201csomewhat yes\u201d 37%) and 48% responses stating that it was \u201cdifficult to work at\u201d (\u201csomewhat no\u201d 30%, \u201cno\u201d 18%).<\/p>\n
In the above survey, comparing across marital status, 64% of married women and 52% of unmarried women responded that their workplace was \u201ceasy to work at.\u201d Based on the fact that married women were more likely to be working in comfortable workplaces, it can be observed that married women who continue to work are \u201cactively selecting a more comfortable work environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the reasons that their workplace is \u201cdifficult to work at,\u201d the top answers among women in their 20\u2019s were #1 \u201cDifficult to request time off\u201d (52%) and #2 \u201cUnreasonable working hours and lack of flexibility\u201d (50%), and among women in their 30\u2019s and 40\u2019s, #1 \u201cPoor communication in the workplace\u201d (30\u2019s: 53%, 40\u2019s: 60%) and #2 \u201cPoor atmosphere in the work environment\u201d (30\u2019s: 46%, 40\u2019s: 46%).
\nIt appears that women in their 30\u2019s and 40\u2019s are primarily facing issues with human relationships at the workplace because in terms of work-life balance, they have already selected a job that matches their personal work patterns.<\/p>\n
In contrast, reasons for the workplace being easy to work at are #1 \u201cGood workplace atmosphere\u201d (56%), #2 \u201cReasonable and flexible working hours\u201d (51%), and #3 \u201cEase in requesting time off\u201d (49%). In the older age groups, it can be seen through responses such as \u201cAbility to proceed with work using one\u2019s own methods\u201d that flexibility and freedom become significant factors contributing to a workplace that is easy to work at.<\/p>\n
