Roundtable 1
Respect. How to Increase Psychological Safety in an Organization (in Japanese)
Diversity management includes ensuring the psychological safety of an organization. How do companies enhance psychological safety? We will consider this issue by introducing case studies, including cutting-edge learning methods, and the reality of training on movie shoots.
Roundtable 2
Age Diversity: Building an Organization of the Future with Youth (in Japanese)
Diversity is not only about gender. If sports team members were ordered by age, would they win? In a Japanese society with a seniority-based system, we will consider how to create an organization and corporate culture that allows young people, seniors, and others to demonstrate their abilities regardless of age, and the society that will emerge from this.
Roundtable 3
Making the Best of the Careers in Science (in Japanese)
Women in various fields of science will talk about the steps they take to develop the careers of women in their organizations and how they create opportunities for them to be active and grow. And how are they developing their own careers? This session will consider both organizational development and human resource development.
Roundtable 4
SDGs and Business (in English)
The SDGs, with a focus on the environment, not only contribute to society but are also closely related to corporate management. We will discuss the relationship with management and investment while learning about the global SDGs movement and examples of SDGs initiatives at various companies.
Roundtable 5
Women on Boards, global update (in English)
The number of women on boards is finally starting to increase in Japan. How about companies around the world? Learn the latest information on female directors and outside directors, and consider the meaning and contribution of women on boards.
