Initiatives for Fostering an Organizational Culture Where Employees Can Proactively Take on Challenges
Aiming to improve each employee's ease of work and sense of fulfillment, we define the state where "a psychologically safe workplace," "mental and physical health," and "the cultivation of work engagement" are realized as 'OKI Well-Being', and are working on creating an environment where diverse talents can positively take on challenges. In particular, focusing on the organization, we are undertaking initiatives to foster a corporate culture that encourages positive challenges and to enhance organizational performance.
With regard to "fostering of job satisfaction," the goal is to increase the percentage of positive responses(*) to 70% by fiscal year 2025 for items related to job satisfaction (OKI work engagement) in the awareness survey conducted annually among all Group employees in Japan.

Organizational Development based on Dialogue
To foster a culture where employees can take on challenges proactively, we are encouraging behavioral change among all employees through organizational development activities conducted by each organizational unit, based on open and transparent dialogue, as well as through cross-organizational initiatives such as collaborative spaces designed for exploration and growth.
Aiming for a Workplace with Psychological Safety and Conversation
The OKI Group has been developing "Interactive Communication" activities among employees since fiscal year 2018 under the motto "Express yourself, encourage others to express themselves, and listen" to foster an organizational culture with psychological safety in which employees feel secure to express their opinions and ideas, recognize each other, and take on challenges. Targeting communication at all levels, each workplace holds lunch meetings, team conversations, and workshops on workplace issues and concerns.
Increase Opportunities to take Initiative in Gaining Access to settings Conductive to growth
In FY2024, we are implementing initiatives to increase opportunities for young and mid-level employees to gain opportunities for growth of their own volition.
Specifically, we provided opportunities to participate in projects that solve social issues in Japan, to directly experience issues and support activities in developing countries, and to provide opportunities for motivated young employees to raise their hands to take on positions at the OKI Group's overseas bases under the name of "Global Challenge."
We believe that actively supporting employees' autonomous career development will accelerate their growth.
