Kioxia Group sees the active participation of female employees as a key issue that needs to be addressed as part of our promotion of diversity. We believe that diverse perspectives spur innovation, and as a company that operates globally, we aspire to have more women actively participating in management. In this connection, Kioxia Corporation has set the following goals:
- Doubling the number of female managers in FY2025 compared to FY2019.
- Ensuring the proportion of new graduates who are female is at least 45% of those recruited for administrative positions, and at least 15% for technical positions.
These targets are also stipulated in our action plan outlining measures to support the Japanese government’s Act on the Promotion of Women’s Participation and Advancement in the Workplace, and we are stepping up our efforts to achieve these.
Specifically, all employees are provided with a handbook outlining how they can achieve a balance between work and family time; we also hold seminars and study sessions for managers and executives coaching them on ways to foster a corporate culture in which diverse human resources can play active roles. In addition, we conduct employee surveys and interviews with female managers to help us understand and address any relevant issues.
Since the company achieved the goals of our action plan ahead of schedule, it has formulated and published our next action plan. (April, 2025)
