Career Support Program
We introduced a career support program to help mid-career
female employees become more ambitious in their careers and
gain the necessary skills to achieve their goals.

Self-Esteem Concept Chart |

 Encouraging female employees' career ambitions:
This program aims to nurture self-esteem amongst female
employees and motivate them to go beyond their current
work responsibilities and develop their careers by taking on
managerial roles that make use of their leadership skills or
taking on more challenges that create higher added value.
Helping female employees hone their skills:
The program is structured so that female employees can hone
their conceptual skills (problem-finding, problem-solving,
decision-making, strategy-devising and conceptualizing skills)
and human skills (skills
in influencing people,
coordinating and
negotiating) necessary
for middle management.
Diversity Forum
As part of our efforts to embrace diversity, we established a new
space where female employees can share information amongst
Group companies and learn from each other.
<Hosting the first forum>
 We hosted the First Diversity Promotion Forum in November
2008 on the topic of "Promoting the Active Involvement of
Women." Group employees in the Tokyo region in charge of
promoting diversity were invited, and 113 employees from 10
companies participated.
At the forum, we introduced actual cases in a panel
discussion, held group discussions regarding the cases and
shared information on each company's situation and agenda.
Some 96% of participants said they were satisfied with the
forum, or that the forum helped. Taking these results into
consideration, we plan to regularly hold meetings between
Group companies
for information
sharing and
awareness raising.
