As a corporate group committed to “Creating environments for medical professionals,” we aim to meet the expectations of various stakeholders, ensure sustainable growth, and contribute to society. To support this mission, we foster workplaces where employees can thrive and develop sincere corporate activities.

The growth of a company is supported by its people. We foster “autonomous human resources” who respect each other as partners and strive together. We emphasize utilizing diverse perspectives and individual strengths to create new values.

For sustainable corporate growth, it is essential to respect individual backgrounds and incorporate diverse opinions. Guided by “SHIP” Philosophy shared across all employees, we prioritize providing opportunities for diverse talents to thrive.

We recognize that advancing diversity enhances corporate value. Women play an active role across our five business areas, with female employees accounting for 58.7% of the workforce as of March 2025. By supporting their self-directed growth, we aim to increase the proportion of women in managerial positions and promote their participation in decision-making processes.

Contributing to Corporate Growth with Unique Perspectives of Women

I oversee recruitment, training, and performance evaluations, constantly reflecting on how to make our company more appealing. I manage specialized training for SPD and sterilization operations as well as career development programs. To support more women in leadership roles, we launched a “Site Manager Development Program” in 2020, increasing the percentage of female managers by 5% over the past five years. As the company’s first female and youngest department head, I will continue contributing to corporate growth with fresh perspectives while creating an environment where everyone, regardless of gender, can excel.

Building an Organization Where Employees with Diverse Backgrounds Can Thrive

I am responsible for recruitment, development, and support for junior employees. My experiences have taught me that relying solely on personal success stories and values can limit growth for both individuals and the organization. I aim to foster a workplace where everyone can thrive regardless of their perspectives, roles, or experiences. As one of the few female managers, I strive to promote women’s empowerment and ultimately create an organization where employees, including those balancing caregiving or personal health challenges, are not seen as “exceptions.”

Creating Systems for Managerial Opportunities across All Life Stages

I handle recruitment, placement, evaluation and HR system design for pharmacists and medical clerks. Some female managers successfully balance childcare and careers. Moving forward, I believe it is essential to cultivate a company culture where employees, regardless of life stage, are motivated to take on managerial roles and view them as valuable opportunities.
