Women in Business in Japan

Nearly 20 years ago, Japan set a goal of increasing the percentage of women in management positions to 30% by 2020. However, the percentage has remained largely unchanged, rising only 0.1 percentage point each year, and still stands at about 8% today. And today, due to the impact of the new coronavirus, female promotion seems to have further stalled in its momentum.

This webinar featured a panel discussion among three women in top positions in Japan on the realities, experiences, challenges, and lessons to be learned from working in a male-dominated environment.

Ambassador Roxanne de Vilderling, Belgium’s first female Ambassador to Japan, gave the opening speech.

On March 8, our company’s CEO Magnan spoke at the PASONA Women’s Forum held on International Women’s Day.

She talked about why she chose to start her own business, her path to starting her own business, the challenges she faced after starting her own business, balancing her private life, her present and future, and more.

Magnan spoke about her own experiences.

In the March issue of “Forbes Japan”, our CEO, Ms. Magnan was interviewed along with Ms. Reimi Yano, a female entrepreneur and a sustainability startup CEO who also shares the common trait of being an inverted health method enthusiast. Please take a look.

On February 10, Prime Minister Kishida visited CIC Tokyo, where our company is located, and Magnan had the opportunity to introduce our services.

He told us that “this year should be the first year of startup creation,” and we renewed our commitment to further accelerate our business.

The Keidanren Times published the content of the Diversity Promotion Committee Planning Subcommittee meeting (chaired by Teiko Kudo) held online on November 18.

Ms. Takako Hayashi, the Managing Executive Officer in charge of Human Resources at Shinsei Bank, and Ms. Mariko Magnan, our CEO, gave presentations and exchanged opinions on “efforts to break away from Japanese employment practices and reform organizational climate and culture” respectively.
