Creating a Thriving Environment for a Diverse Workforce
In addition to our continued commitment to providing employment for people with disabilities, we also strive to cultivate a work environment in which the diverse values and backgrounds of employees, regardless of gender, age, nationality, and gender identity, are respected and in which employee welfare and happiness are prioritized.

Promoting the Active Participation of Senior Professionals
Securing and actively leveraging the expertise and abilities of senior professionals is becoming increasingly essential. Following the recent changes to laws and the social trends regarding the employment of older individuals, we have set up a system for gradually increasing senior employee compensation levels in accordance with their volume and evaluation of their work. We wish to further utilize motivated and capable seniors and promote a smooth handoff to the younger generation.
Empowering Employees with Roots in Other Countries
As the number of our non-Japanese employees increases, we are providing follow-up support to ensure their understanding of the company’s policies, and supporting their smooth workplace communications through measures such as Japanese language classes and a mentoring system.
In October 2019, we promoted the first foreign national employee to the position of manager, and have promoted more since then. In January 2023, we appointed a foreign national employee of an overseas subsidiary as an executive officer at the head office for the first time. Going forward, we will be putting energy into ensuring that workplace environments allow employees of many different backgrounds to participate in the workplace with vitality, building synergy through mutual respect for each other’s culture.
