Establishment of the Diversity Promotion Office

The Diversity Promotion Office was established in 2018 to create an environment in which each and every member can maximize his or her abilities even as the organization expands. They are promoting the creation of an environment that emphasizes DEI (Diversity/Equity/Inclusion) so that diverse people can work easily and perform at their best. They monitor the ratio of female managers and the ratio of female hires and implement specific initiatives to support the success of female employees, such as mentoring.


Supporting the activities of diverse members

To create an environment where diverse members such as LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual minorities) can play an active role, they provide company-wide training, set up a consultation service, and create a system to cover same-sex partners. They are creating a comfortable working environment mainly for transgender employees by consulting with the members concerned, such as arranging for procedures to write their common names on insurance cards (so that they can use them as official identification cards) and coordinating with health checkup facilities.


Creating a work environment where people with disabilities can work comfortably

The freee Group has established the name "universal employment" as a unique designation within the Group and is creating a variety of work environments that are easy for people with disabilities to work in. They are raising awareness within the company in a variety of ways to make it easier for people with disabilities. Activities such as seating arrangements, adding Braille to offices and goods, adding captions to internal and external documents and other images, and using words to supplement charts and graphs when explaining them have taken root. They are also working on a color selection with consideration for colorblind people. At the new Osaki office, they are pursuing a more universal design-conscious environment.

They also use in-house services that take accessibility into consideration to promote a comfortable working environment for people with disabilities.

As a company-wide event that contributes to the development of their corporate culture, they hold company-wide training to experience Unconscious Bias, and in the course of such training, they conduct workshops with visual, auditory, speech, and upper limb limitations in collaboration with the UX team, among other initiatives at the company-wide level.


Promoting Global Activities of Members

They operate an overseas office (in the Philippines), where many local members are active. Through mutual cooperation among bases, they are striving to improve overall technological capabilities, and they are striving for organizational management that promotes the development of each member's abilities and the creation of innovation.
