\u25a0About D&I AWARD<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “D&I AWARD” is Japan’s largest award recognizing and certifying companies actively promoting Diversity & Inclusion. Established in 2021 by JobRainbow Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as JobRainbow), the award evaluates companies’ D&I initiatives based on the “Diversity Score,” a system comprising 100 questions across five key perspectives: “Gender,” “LGBTQ+,” “Disability,” “Multicultural Society,” and “Childcare & Caregiving.” Based on the evaluation results, companies are granted one of four certification levels: “Beginner,” “Standard,” “Advanced,” or “Best Workplace.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 About the \u201cTop Inclusive Company (TIC) Award\u201d<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduced in FY 2023\/3, this award evaluates the degree to which DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) is embraced by each individual employee. It assesses whether employees feel they can “be themselves” through company initiatives, going beyond the institutional aspects of D&I promotion. The evaluation is conducted using a proprietary survey developed by JobRainbow. Companies ranking in the top 35% of scores are recognized as leaders in DEIB practices and are awarded the “Top Inclusive Company (TIC) Award.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
