The above-mentioned seminar will be held online on Monday, December 21st, starting at 1:30 PM.
This is the second installment of our "Seminar on Acquiring Knowledge and Skills to Leverage Diversity as a Strength," but even if you did not participate in the first installment, you are of course welcome to join.
I'm sure you're all aware of the importance of diversity, but why not take this opportunity to learn from a diversity specialist?
In this seminar, we will invite Masako Arakane, CEO of Qualia Co., Ltd., which handles seminars and consulting on diversity promotion, as our lecturer. We will deepen our understanding of the latest trends as we shift from diversity promotion to D&I management, and learn about the attitudes and communication skills required of leaders who achieve results by leveraging diversity.
There are still seats available, so we would appreciate it if you could inform any faculty or staff members who might be interested. Thank you very much.
