Work styles and the business environment are starting to dramatically change due to the rapid evolution of technologies.
In order for companies to achieve sustainable growth, it is extremely important for them to introduce innovation that is unbound by traditional values by utilizing human resources with diverse values and by holding discussions based on mutual understanding and respect. After all, organizations that avoid risks and prioritize maintaining the status quo are likely to quickly become homogenous and gradually decline.
In fact, transforming the corporate culture that has been developed up until now to promote diversity & inclusion (D&I) is an effective management strategy that will revitalize Japanese organizations and provide an important driving force for creating innovation. We must also not forget that the first step in achieving diversity in Japan is to make progress on empowering women, regarding which Japanese society is still far behind much of the rest of the world.
Since its establishment in 2007, the NPO J-Win has contributed to the enhancement of sustainable corporate competitiveness by working to support both the training of female leaders who drive organizations and society and the promotion of diversity & inclusion.
Based on our philosophy—which identifies diversity & inclusion as the foundation of management strategies—we will cultivate more female leaders who play a central role in corporate management and improve corporate value as we strive to take full advantage of the potential of every person and contribute to the realization of a society in which this leads to the self-actualization of each individual.
J-Win consists of 3 layers of women’s network, which is aimed at establishing career-development awareness and training human resources, a 3 layer system for D&I promotion, which supports D&I promotion as a management strategy, and D&I progress analysis, which quantifies and visualizes the D&I promotion situation.
