Providing a Diverse and Dynamic Workplace
|
DOCOMO strives to provide a comfortable and secure work environment by maintaining a diverse workforce in terms of race, gender, age, nationality and values. The company also is committed to maintaining a corporate culture that allows a healthy balance between professional and private lives, including respect for employees' right to nurture their lives outside the office. Personnel programs and systems reflect such policies. The company enhances the abilities and motivation of its employees by putting the right people in the right positions, where they can develop their professional skills and receive fair evaluation of their performance. |
Individual Skills and Abilities are All-important
|
DOCOMO is committed to hiring people for their skills and abilities, not their nationalities. Employees of non-Japanese nationalities work throughout the company, including in the Global Business Division, Research and Development Division and Corporate Marketing Division. Diversity is emphasized in the hiring of both new graduates and mid-career personnel. |
Ensuring Employees Remain Involved
|
DOCOMO works with new and expecting parents to ease potential concerns and help them balance their professional and private lives effectively, including by taking advantage of company-provided childcare. When employees return to work, the company advises them how to balance work with child rearing, and provides information about available career options. DOCOMO ensures that employees, co-workers and managers all have an adequate understanding of available childcare programs. A related initiative is the "Win-d forum," where female employees gather to discuss job management and career opportunities. The forum is sponsored by the Women's Innovative Network in DOCOMO (Win-D), a female manager-staffed group that helps other female employees to enjoy and nurture their careers. The annual forums, which feature presentations by influential personalities and group discussions, help female employees in their efforts to build careers. |
Working from Home
DOCOMO launched a telecommuting program in April 2010 to encourage greater self-initiative and effective management of professional/private lives by employees at all offices. Anyone is allowed to telecommute once a week, or up to five days a month, upon the approval of their manager. The program enables employees at home to use a high-security notebook computer to safely access the company's internal network and replicate their in-office work environment.
Diversity Training through e-Learning
How can diversity be nurtured in a corporate culture? How can a workplace be organized to enable differing ways of working and thinking to be truly respected? These objectives form the basis of an e-learning training program that DOCOMO provides to its employees. Courses include subjects such as the basics of diversity and how to improve communication as the foundation of respect. The program continues to be enhanced both qualitatively and quantitatively, ultimately to promote lasting, meaningful diversity at DOCOMO.
Preventing Discrimination and Harassment
To cultivate a workplace free of discrimination and harassment, DOCOMO emphasizes human rights to its employees. To elevate human-rights awareness and ensure that all employees understand that it is a clear and present issue, DOCOMO implements courses utilizing e-learning and video-based educational materials, messages from the Vice President serving as the Head of the Human Rights Implementation Committee on World Human Rights Day, and initiatives to enhance understanding of the purpose and intent of the United Nations Human Rights Declaration.
