GENDER
We have implemented reforms in our personnel system, among other measures, so that employees can choose work styles that match their life stage, and to help develop careers that make full use of individuals’ strengths. We will continue to introduce new systems and promote the career development of each employee through assignments to new roles or departments based on their career plans.
