In particular, both managers and non-managers have complained that communication has become more difficult. Under these circumstances, we relocated to new Tokyo headquarters in February 2023, and at that time, we created our new office with emphasis on revitalizing communication.

We will introduce examples of our efforts and direction we are aiming for, including activities of facilitators.
