Some progress has been attained through
various activities led by the Working Group for
Female Employee Advancement as the first
step in promoting diversity. Casio has now
launched a Diversity Project that, starting in
fiscal 2014, is focusing on enabling all
employees–including seniors, persons with
disabilities, and non-Japanese employees, not
just women–to perform at their full potential and
reach even greater heights.
Launch of the Diversity Project
Casio has launched a Diversity Project with the
goal of creating conditions where all employees
can work enthusiastically and have job
satisfaction, regardless of gender, nationality, age,
or level of ability. Working groups on women,
seniors, persons with disabilities, and non-
Japanese employees promote positive action.
Supporting the Advancement of Female
Employees
Casio actively and continuously carries out a
variety of measures with the aim of supporting
all female employees so that they can fully
demonstrate their abilities. Casio actively
promotes ambitious and talented employees,
and the number of women in senior staff
positions increased from four in fiscal 2011 to
24 in fiscal 2016.
In order to further promote women’s activity,
we have established the target of doubling the
percentage of management that is female by
2020. As we head toward attaining this target,
we plan to enact policies regarding female
management candidates that instill the desire
to move up and aggressively promote policies
that support the building of careers for young
women.
Because the percentage of new female
college graduate engineers is somewhat low,
we have set hiring targets for new female
graduates to be implemented every year from
fiscal 2018: 20% or more for engineers, 50% or
more for sales, and 30% or more overall. Also,
we plan to expand the number of female
applicants by proactively carrying out PR
targeting technically oriented women.
