Let's change things with bottom-up power! Let's think together about the future of diversity

Lean In Tokyo will hold an event to consider bottom-up activities to promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within companies.

The event is divided into three parts!

In the first part of the talk session, we will welcome special guests Masako Moto, Executive Officer and General Manager of General Affairs and Human Resources at NTT DOCOMO, Inc., and Maki Saito, Co-founder of LEAN IN DOCOMO, NTT DOCOMO's bottom-up initiative, to talk about promoting DEI at NTT DOCOMO from the perspectives of both the HR department and bottom-up activities.

In the second part, we will hold a workshop where guests and participants can deepen their discussion and think about "DEI through the power of bottom-up approaches."

In the third part, we will have a networking session between the two guests and all the participants!

Let's think together with the participants about what impact bottom-up activities can have on promoting DEI in companies, based on case studies from each company and tips for implementation!

[Recommended for these people]

⚫ People involved in bottom-up activities related to DEI at their company
⚫ People who are aware of DEI issues and want to take action
⚫ People who want to take a step forward in their work or personal life
