We are focusing our efforts on keeping employees healthy both physically and mentally, and creating opportunities for them to continuously upskill. From employee opinions surveys, we have also created improvement programs based on their concerns, regularly revising and improving the plans and monitoring the relevant KPIs. In addition to creating platforms for different generations of our workforce to interact with one another to improve communication, I pay close attention when interacting with employees and their personal issues. Having an open line of communication with them enables me to understand their working environment and tackle their concerns before they become bigger issues. For new employees, we provide opportunities for them to learn, talk about, and implement our Basic Business Philosophy. We have also formulated steps to ensure all employees can learn how to use an AED. As a company, we don’t just want to protect our employees’ lives, we want to increase the number of Panasonic advocates inside and outside the company through fostering human resources with skills useful to society. Moving forward, alongside work-life balance I will promote training programs to maximize the potential of each employee, and in doing so develop personnel who can contribute to society.

I love reading books while drinking coffee. It helps me to relax and enriches the mind. For me, books lead to new discoveries and realizations.
