Diversity
Hankyu Hanshin Express is promoting the "Diversity Promotion" initiative.
As the business environment and labor market change drastically, including market globalization and a shrinking workforce, it is essential to utilize diverse human resources regardless of gender, age, nationality, and to grow the company through the creation of new value. Based on our company's Management Policy, "A vibrant enterprise arises from respecting diversity," we are making various efforts, including the creation of a workplace environment where individuals can maximize their abilities and continue to work with enthusiasm, as well as educational activities.
Held Diversity Forum in 2022
In January 2023, we held the sixth Diversity Forum. The theme on this occasion was Diversity Management and Unconscious bias, and the events on that day were composed of two parts. For the first part, we invited a specialized lecture from outside of the company and had her give a lecture. For the second part, a workshop was held among the participants and they exchanged remarks with each other. In particular, the workshop provided an opportunity for participants to think about future effort with a greater sense of ownership by exchanging their opinions on how to create a workplace environment in which diverse people can demonstrate their abilities, while imagining an actual organization.
Held Diversity Forum in 2019
In September 2019, we held the 5th Diversity Forum in Tokyo. The theme at this time was ‘Telework', participants acknowledged various working styles through the result of internal surveys against all the employees and through the panel discussion leaded by 2-employees who are keeping a good balance of Work and Family.
We comprehend ‘Telework' as a choice for the employees which aims to provide flexible and diversified working styles and to improve working environment for diverse human resources.
