Diversity

JSP promotes diversity and inclusion, aiming for a workplace where employees respect each other and are assured of psychological safety so that they can continue to play active roles.

Promotion of Women’s Participation and Advancement in the Workplace

“Act on Promotion of Women’s Participation and Advancement in the Workplace” was passed in 2015 by the Diet in Japan, which stipulates the responsibilities of the national government, local governments and general business owners regarding the promotion of women’s advancement with the aim of realizing a society in which women's individuality and abilities can be fully demonstrated. The revised law was passed and promulgated in 2019.

JSP aims to promote active participation of women by systematically training young employees, examining various systems within the company and promoting various measures.

Promoting Active Participation of Senior Human Resources

Awareness of working styles after the age of 60 varies greatly among individuals, and it is predicted that this will become more diverse in the future.

JSP aims to create a rewarding work environment even after the age of 60 by operating a personnel system that is empathetic to senior employees. We provide comprehensive support, that includes providing various information or responding to consultations on working styles that suit each employee's circumstances and values, such as allowing employees to choose shorter working hours depending on their condition.

Facilitation for the Employment of Persons with Disabilities

The JSP Group believes that diversity is the driving force for competitiveness and development for the company. By accepting, recognizing and leveraging differences between individuals and groups, including ethnicities, nationalities, genders, disabilities, religions, ages, and other factors, we would like to create an environment where we can demonstrate ourselves and strengthen the power of the company itself.

Currently, JSP Molding, which is located in Japan and is a member of the JSP Group, promotes the employment of people with disabilities and has been certified as a Special Subsidiary, allowing many people with disabilities to play an active role. In October 2015, JSP Molding received an award from the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare for our long-standing efforts. In addition, we provide various orders such as assembly and processing operation for residents of the facility "Social Welfare Corporation Kibou-no-Ie" in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture. We have realized an employment system with a high retention rate and improved work efficiency by subdividing work and other tasks so that many people can share the work and by assigning the right person to the right job based on an assessment of individual aptitudes. At a time when there is an increasing demand for diversity in employment, the JSP Group believes that diversity is a source of corporate competitiveness.

We would like to continue to be the company where individuals can demonstrate their abilities while coexisting with various values from the perspective of diversity management.
