Listen now
Description
With June and another Pride Month celebrated we're resharing an episode with Yuta Hasumi, Managing Director of Ikigai Authentic. We dive into diversity and inclusion (D&I) in the workplace and discuss the key difference between Japanese and international organizations' approaches to diversity and inclusion.   When foreigners make up only 2% of the population of Japan, you would be forgiven for thinking that diversity and inclusion in the Japanese workplace just don't apply. Yuta has built a global career in D&I and is working with companies and organizations in Japan and the UK to change the way they think about diversity and inclusion.  In this episode: How Japan is at a pivotal point to address gender inequality Local challenges when it comes to diversity in a homogenous countryHow people can develop a career in diversity and inclusion and get involved in their current workplaces Why it just makes commercial sense to have diversity and inclusion policies Yuta’s top advice for companies to attract and retain talent  Yuta Hasumi Bio: With experience in the Asia Pacific region and global human resources and talent management for overseas firms, as well as overall responsibility for promoting diversity and inclusion in Japan and the South Korean region, Yuta now operates with two bases, one in Japan and the other in the UK. He provides management consulting that makes the most of diversity, advising businesses and other organizations in planning and execution of lectures and training, coaching for management, promoting women’s participation in the workplace, and work style reforms. Yuta holds an MBA from Waseda Business School.   Connect with Yuta Hasumi: Website: https://www.ikigaiauthentic.com/en/home  Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuta-hasumi/ Links of things mentioned in this episode: FocusCore Webinars: https://www.japan.focuscoregroup.com/webinars  Connect with David Sweet: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdavidsweet/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/focuscorejp  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focuscoreasia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focuscorejp/  Website: https://www.japan.focuscoregroup.com/  Are you enjoying the FocusCore Podcast?
