Creating an Environment where Diverse Human Resources Can Demonstrate Their Strengths
We employ human resources with diverse values so that we can create added value by taking advantage of the differences in various attributes, such as culture, nationality, race, ethnicity, language, religion, values, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, career and work style. We also aim to create a work environment where diverse employees can take advantage of their strengths by improving the environment and systems, providing support to achieve a better work-life balance that considers changes in their life stage and conditions, and enhancing communication.
Promoting the Advancement of Women in the Work Place
Promoting the Advancement of Women in the Work Place
In order to promote the advancement of female employees, we are working on a variety of measures to increase the number of female employees still in service 10 years following graduation to at least 60% and the number of female managers and advanced specialists by 12 in the three years up until the term ending June 2025.
Intelligent Women's Wave (IWW)
Intelligent Wave has established the Intelligent Women's Wave (IWW), a community of female employees. IWW works on creating an environment that enables women to continue working for longer periods. Specifically, it provides a one-on-one mentoring system where employees can receive advice on career and life plans, opportunities for female employees to come together for group dialogue, and regular dissemination of information through our intranet.
Online Get-together for Employees on Childcare Leave
We organize opportunities for employees (both male and female) on childcare leave to get together online. In order for them to gain a more concrete image of what returning to work will look like, we provide information on changes in the workplace environment and respond to questions about anxieties and uncertainties concerning their return. By offering advice from employees who have previously taken childcare leave, we provide support to ensure they are comfortable returning to the workplace.
Support for Work and Life Balance
Support for Work and Life Balance
We help employees balance work and family life, and are working on creating a working environment where employees can feel comfortable and remain working with us for longer.

Web Newsletter (DIVERSITY WAVE)
Web Newsletter (DIVERSITY WAVE)
Since July 2021, we have been publishing "DIVERSITY WAVE," a web company newsletter, twice a month to introduce the rich personalities of our employees and promote diversity. DIVERSITY WAVE covers various topics in every issue, from employee content, such as the introduction of employees and divisions, to features covering corporate issues, including event reports and health and productivity management. These initiatives are playing a significant role for in-house information sharing and stimulating communication between employees.
Employee Social Events
We plan and implement a number of initiatives to promote communication among employees who do not have regular contact with each other, such as luncheons, tea parties and in-house social media.
Circle activities such as baseball, tennis, golf, and e-sports also provide opportunities for employees across divisions and positions to interact.
We also invite our employees and their families to watch FC Tokyo games, a team sponsored by Intelligent Wave. Through such events where employees can come together through sport, we are providing them with opportunities to experience a level of excitement that cannot typically be found on the job.
