The PERSOL Group’s Valuable 500 Commitment
At the PERSOL Group, guided by our group vision “Work and Smile,” we are committed to realizing a society where everyone around the world can truly “Work and Smile.”
With the diversification of individual values and the advancement of technology, the environment surrounding work and the way it is perceived globally have reached a major turning point. The labor market continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace. To ensure sustainable growth for both society and businesses in this rapidly changing environment, there is a need for flexibility and creativity — the ability to generate new value and adapt to change by harnessing the synergies of diverse abilities. We believe that the foundation of this lies in the diversity of our employees.
To bring about a society where everyone around the world can truly experience the benefits of “Work and Smile,” it is essential that we have employees who not only recognize and appreciate the diverse perspectives, feelings, and ways of thinking of others, but also contribute their own abilities in an environment that allows them to find fulfillment and satisfaction in their work.
We value diversity in all its forms and aim to bring the best ideas and value to our customers, stakeholders, and employees. To leverage the strengths of our diverse employees, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive culture where everyone feels they can be themselves, respecting their differences in culture, background, beliefs, and abilities. As part of this commitment, we have launched several DEI initiatives to align with our group vision, which recognizes intersectionality and seeks to maximize the potential of all employees through equal opportunity. This is our challenge.
1. Practices for Employment of Persons with Disabilities
The PERSOL Group implements various measures to ensure that employees with diverse disabilities can fully utilize their abilities and expand their opportunities. These measures include thorough standardization of operations, efforts to expand job roles, the development of workplace policies such as medical leave systems, and the creation of office environments tailored to the needs of employees with disabilities. Moving forward, we will continue to actively engage with society through various means such as vocational introduction services, consulting services, and employment transition support services, with the goal of creating employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, not only within our own company but also in society at large.
2. System Development
The PERSOL Group is dedicated to increasing the options for diverse ways of working and creating environments where individuals’ attributes, values, and abilities can be fully utilized. We expand the choices available to employees and broaden individual opportunities through measures such as liberalizing dress codes, implementing systems that allow for multiple jobs, introducing flextime arrangements, and creating environments that support remote work and telecommuting.
3. Cultivating Culture
The PERSOL Group provides literacy programs aimed at deepening understanding of diversity and fostering a culture of acceptance, while also encouraging awareness of and responses to unconscious bias.
We actively promote inclusion through initiatives such as DEI literacy training for all employees, DEI training for managers, training programs that enhance understanding of various disabilities and inclusive practices, and in-person events and interactive sessions focused on DEI and disability inclusion.
