Promoting diversity

Policy/Concept

The goal is a workplace where at all times employees with all kinds of individuality are respected for their personal identity and play an active role without difficulty and without any special measures. To realize this ideal form, we are focusing on company-wide efforts.

Pursuit of quality communication

Create a workplace where quality communication takes place to prevent loss of opportunities for mutual understanding due to unconscious bias.

Developing a work environment that creates a synergistic effect between life and work

Create a workplace that supports work styles adapted to individuals’ current conditions, that is, work styles in which a fulfilling life leads to motivation for work, and fulfilling work leads to satisfaction in life, although there are time and place restrictions due to the nature of the value we provide to our customers.

Cultivate a culture of continuous learning and growth

Create a workplace where members will continuously learn, teach, and grow together to produce results more efficiently.

Activity examples

Facilitating active participation by women

Our activities include enhancing the personnel system and providing substantial support to career development according to life events. To prevent opportunity loss due to unconscious bias such as “because I am/the person is a woman” or “because I am/the person is a man,” we hold seminars and conduct awareness surveys on a regular basis. In addition, we promote the creation of a work environment and an organizational culture that enable diverse human resources to play an active role.

Efforts in the project for promoting active participation by women

This project consists of 11 female employees representing each division, and their monthly activities include identifying issues and revising systems from the perspective of female employees.

Efforts in the project for promoting active participation by women

Networking events are held and opinions are exchanged inviting an outside officer as a lecturer. Efforts are made to eliminate unconscious bias and, for female employees, to promote women's career advancement by helping them become aware of issues they are currently unaware of. We are considering measures to promote self-directed career development for women and to improve psychological safety in the workplace.
