Companies in Action: Best Practices for Women’s Empowerment & Diversity
japansociety.org/events/compa...
Across the United States and Japan, companies are increasingly demonstrating their commitment to women’s empowerment, active allyship, and the promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Despite commendable progress, statistical data from the OECD reveals that only 31% of board seats in the United States are occupied by women, while in Japan, the figure drops significantly to 15.5%. What best practices can companies embrace to foster an inclusive work culture, and how are organizations cultivating female talent for leadership roles? Why is allyship important in the workplace, and what actions should companies take to move allyship to advocacy? In this program, speakers from companies excelling in women’s empowerment and DEI share valuable insights into their respective journeys, shedding light on both successful practices and challenges encountered along the way. Join us as we examine the strategies and experiences that are shaping the future of gender equality in the corporate landscape.
