Welcome to JORN
The Japan Office Relief Network (JORN) is a pioneering organization dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by Office Ladies (OLs) in Japan's high-pressure work environment. Our mission is to promote workplace well-being and productivity by advocating for more flexible relief policies.
The Silent Struggle
In many Japanese offices, the combination of long working hours, limited break times, and cultural expectations can lead to situations where OLs feel unable to leave their desks, even for essential biological needs. This can result in discomfort, decreased productivity, and potential health issues.
Our Solution
JORN is at the forefront of a movement to normalize and destigmatize natural bodily functions in the workplace. We advocate for:
- Installation of discrete, personal relief systems at desks
- Implementation of AI-powered "relief break" scheduling
- Cultural sensitivity training for managers
- Development of high-tech, odor-neutralizing and quick-drying office attire
Join the Movement
Whether you're an OL experiencing these challenges, an employer looking to improve workplace conditions, or an ally who wants to support this cause, there's a place for you in our network.
