Action Plan to Promote Female Participation and Career Advancement and Help Develop Next-Generation Leaders
In April 2021, we formulated the Action Plan to Promote Female Participation and Career Advancement and Help Develop Next-Generation Leaders, building on the April 2016 Basic Policy on Female Participation and Career Advancement. Our Group companies have also established action plans. We are taking necessary steps in accordance with the basic policy of hiring women proactively, creating an environment in which all employees can reach their full potential, dedicating our resources to their education, including support for career development, and thereby actively promoting female participation and career advancement.

We target a proportion of 25% or more women among new hires, and 10% or more female managers by March 31, 2026. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, women comprised 10.6% of our new hires. The average for 2016 to 2021 was 20.5%. The proportion of female employees has risen from 9.7% in 2016 to 14.6% in 2021. The ratio of female managers was 7.5% in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Initiatives to develop DX talent
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, we implemented DX training on a trial basis for some participants selected from each division. The aim of this trial was not only to expedite the development of core personnel to promote DX but also to validate the effectiveness of the training through surveys and interviews conducted after completion.
The fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, will be the first year of full-scale DX training, when we will define the DX personnel, roles, and skills required by the TATSUTA Group.
Through practical training programs, we will provide employees with opportunities to acquire the necessary skills. At the same time, by cultivating companywide DX awareness, we aim to develop a broad range of personnel to contribute to improving business operations and productivity, and key talents to lead the transformation of our business model.
Training programs
Through the TATSUTA Group’s training programs, shown below, we build the awareness and consciousness of Group employees.

Next-generation development education
We provide next-generation development education aimed at unearthing the next generation of leaders, developing core personnel, promoting a deeper understanding of management policy, and encouraging a mutual understanding of business issues through interaction between participants.
Ten employees are selected to participate in each training. The participants not only acquire knowledge but also deepen their understanding through discussions on each theme. Consultants from our partner educational institutions assess (evaluate) participants during the training, based on their attitudes and achievements. The results of the assessment are reported back to the individual participants and their supervisors to gain an understanding of the abilities and challenges of each participant.
