Diversity and Inclusion People with Disabilities

Employees with disabilities are able to work actively at our company. We are creating an environment where employees can work together while accepting each other’s differences, through training to deepen understanding of disabilities and opportunities to exchanges views on ways of communication in the workplace.

We attended the Asu Challe! Academy (Challenge for Tomorrow! Academy) - Lecture on Consideration of What is Reasonable Care, which is a training program on taking into account reasonable care toward people with disabilities. This program is run by the Nippon Foundation Parasports Support Center.
In this lecture on the consideration of what is reasonable care, we learnt about people with disabilities, the importance of empathy and acknowledging their differences, and the concept of a cohesive society where everyone can live easily and comfortably. We also learnt about working together with people with disabilities and becoming aware of how to provide better service to a diverse range of customers.
We invited the current para-athlete Eri Yamamoto as a lecturer for this training program, which was held both in person and online and attended by about 90 employees. Several employees with hearing disabilities also took part in the program, and with the use of a speech-to-text application and assistance from a sign language interpreter, we were able to effectively run the training.
It was a productive program in which the participants learnt about how becoming aware of the little things and showing consideration in various situations is precisely what reasonable care is, and that practicing reasonable care is how we can create a cohesive society.
