We consider the promotion of diversity a vital aspect of management, and are working to create an organization where, based on work style reforms, diverse individuals can achieve their full potential.
Sustained Growth of Diversity
Ichikawa does not set specific promotion targets for overseas nationals or midcareer hires going into management positions based on gender or other factors. Instead, we focus on nurturing individuals based on their hard work and abilities, ensuring that they have opportunities to become managers. We have also established a robust human resource system to support this approach.
Further, we promote women and overseas nationals to management positions, and since May 2020, we have appointed an executive officer who is from overseas.
Strategically, we employ mid-career hiring and other strategies to acquire highly specialized talent.
Reason for Promoting Diversity in Human Resources
In these rapidly changing times, sustaining and boosting corporate value requires moving beyond standardized employee groups with the same attributes, as this approach has limitations.
