Through the promotion of diversity and inclusion, Chugai Pharmaceutical has fostered a culture in which diverse employees can work together with mutual respect.
One strength of our company is its environment in which even junior-grade employees are given opportunities to flourish. For example, anyone can make a proposal for a project and everyone is encouraged to make such proposals.
Employees can take advantage of the work-from-home scheme, the system of paid leave available in hourly increments, Superflex (*), and other schemes to achieve a flexible work style to suit their individual work-life balance.

*Superflex: Flex-time system that has no core-time requirement. As there is no core time in which employees must be present in the office, employees can use their own discretion to decide when to come into and leave the office according to the circumstances of their work.

Chugai Pharmaceutical has introduced a talent management system to identify talent in our personnel using objective criteria, regardless of attributes such as gender, age, and nationality, with the aim of discovering diverse personnel and encouraging them to succeed. Personnel thus identified are assigned to positions and nurtured to enable them to achieve their full potential in a planned manner.
We also develop personnel who can perform to their full potential globally through the Roche Personnel Exchange Program, so they can foster diverse perspectives early in their careers.

To achieve our goal of being the top innovator in the healthcare industry, it is imperative that we continue to generate innovation in effective ways.
It is for this very reason that we want people who can identify and view matters logically and from higher-level perspectives, think about them thoroughly and take action independently, people with the humility to listen to opinions that differ from their own before communicating their own opinion firmly, and people who are interested in social issues and can take action to solve them.
We look forward to meeting people who will think about what they themselves can do to advance toward our goal of being the top innovator in the healthcare industry, not only in the Japanese market but also the global market through our alliance with Roche. We want to meet people who are able to confront every single task seriously and who will flourish as leaders of Chugai Pharmaceutical in the future.
