Issues of equal employment opportunity and female participation is a common theme to the world. Japan's aging population and diminishing birthrate are making it more important for corporations to help employees balance their responsibilities at work and at home. Our aggressive efforts to advance women's roles while balancing work and personal life are created to both meet these needs and increase the Group's medium- and long-term human resources competitiveness.
Toray has led Japanese companies in proactively offering employment and work opportunities to women as well as in providing equal compensation to male and female employees.
The Advancement of Women Project launched in FY 2004 is geared to create structures that enables women to pursue even more fulfilling careers by making our history of steady accomplishment in female participation a key part of our corporate culture.
The Working Team for the Advancement of Women Project was launched with 12 women and 6 men
Workshops provided an opportunity to reflect on their future goals
Work-life balance and mental health were important themes in the lectures
