Diversity
-
Approach to promoting workforce diversity
MGC values diversity and will endeavor to create an environment in which employees with diverse attributes can give full play to their respective capabilities, work with a sense of purpose and derive fulfillment from their jobs. MGC has endorsed the Japan Business Federation's "30% by 2030 Challenge," which aims to increase women's representation in the labor force. Toward this end, MGC will further step up initiatives that capitalize on the perspectives of diverse individuals, particularly women, in pursuit of sustained growth.
-
Diversity promotion plan
(overview)To promote better career opportunities for women, MGC has formulated an action plan that extends through fiscal 2021. Under the plan, MGC is providing support to help women advance in their careers and augmenting programs that support a healthy work-life balance in the aim of quadrupling the percentage of management positions held by women (relative to fiscal 2015). Additionally, MGC will continue to offer additional accommodations to facilitate diverse work modalities in accord with the Act on Advancement of Measures to Support Raising Next-Generation Children and Act on Promotion of Women's Participation and Advancement in the Workplace.
