Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

With the goal of solving issues that surrounds the Group, the Dai-ichi Life Group has established various task forces (Group Initiative Task Force) consisting of members from each of the overseas Group Companies. These task forces cover a wide variety of topics to engage in Group-wide collaborative initiatives. With our diverse range of global talent and specialties, our Group engages in discussions to solve issues and create value. The Group has also created the Global Leaders Committee comprised of top executives from each Group company as they engage in deep discussions with the goal of further growth of the Group.

 

We hire newly graduated international students from Japanese educational institutions as part of our proactive efforts to develop global human resources. These employees bring diverse cultural backgrounds and values that enrich the workplace and help us to improve our organization and the Group's international competitiveness.

Other Initiatives

• Global Talent Seeds (GTS) Developing language and business skills to junior employees
• Dispatch of employees overseas for study and training

Although our DE&I activities vary depending on the environment in each country, we began DE&I activities as a Group in 2022 and held our first Global DE&I Summit online in November 2022.
The aim of the event, titled “Learning Together” was to create a Group-wide culture that respects diverse values, embraces differences, and promotes people's well-being. It was attended by 59 leaders from 13 Group companies from Japan, the United States, Australia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, India, Thailand, and Indonesia. In addition to sharing their understanding of DE&I and learning about global trends through lectures by external professor, participants were divided into small groups and actively exchanged opinions on future initiatives they would like to implement and ideas for the Group as a whole. By having diverse people assemble and share their thoughts, we continuously foster Group's DE&I understanding and actions to create an organizational culture that makes the most of diversity.
