[5/25 Zoom Event] 'Unconscious Bias' Program Briefing Session

By addressing "unconscious bias," we respect diversity and improve organizational performance!

Are such misconceptions occurring in the workplace? ▼ Female employees with children cannot be entrusted with responsible work ▼ Employees from the 'Yutori' generation lack motivation for challenges ▼ Foreign employees are careless in their work and do not listen ▼ Employees who have been with the company for many years should be promoted over those who have changed jobs These are examples of unconscious bias, which refers to distorted views and assumptions that one may not even be aware of. In recent years, this has become a prominent topic, particularly in the realm of 'Diversity & Inclusion.' Everyone has some form of unconscious bias, which can not only negatively affect workplace relationships but also potentially harm the overall performance of the organization. Franklin Covey Japan will begin offering a new program to understand and address these unconscious biases starting July 21. This high-quality content has been implemented in global companies around the world since 2018. *For more details, please refer to the related materials available for download in PDF format.

Unconscious Bias - Understanding Bias and Unlocking Potential

**Features** ● Identify Bias Recognize the impact of bias on behavior, decision-making, and performance. ● Foster Connections Bring bias to light and examine it while enhancing empathy and curiosity through personal interactions. ● Choose Courage Explore ways to confront bias with courage, creating a space where everyone is respected, accepted as part of the team, and valued. Make every effort to address biases that suppress individual and others' performance. **Recommended for Such Challenges** ● Engaging in "diversity" initiatives but not seeing visible results. ● Trying to reduce biases such as "women should do XX" or "subordinates should be XX" within the organization, but facing strong fixed notions among management that hinder progress. ● Experiencing a decline in employee motivation and engagement. ● Beginning to notice behaviors within the organization that may raise concerns about harassment or compliance.

In the field of food and health food research and development, an increasing number of companies are facing the following challenges: - Difficulty in exploring new functional materials and differentiation themes, leading to a depletion of research topics. - While they are collecting information from conferences and papers, they struggle to translate this into research themes directly related to their products. - They remain limited to competing similar products and follow-up projects, failing to establish uniqueness. - Although there are seeds of ideas, they struggle to elevate them to scientific hypotheses and build the necessary foundations for internal approval. Behind this lies a "wall of execution" that cannot be overcome by traditional information gathering and research processes. In this webinar, we will introduce a new R&D approach to break through these challenges. It is a next-generation research and development scheme that combines AI-driven hypothesis generation, which has achieved results in drug discovery, with scientific hypothesis verification by a food human trial CRO. This will allow for the transformation of vague ideas into scientifically verifiable projects, simultaneously achieving the construction of persuasive foundations for upper management and differentiation development.

Fujikohsuhou Industrial Co., Ltd. will hold an online seminar titled "Tips for Setting Laser Hardening Conditions" on July 20, 2025 (Wednesday). In laser hardening, factors such as output and speed are related to the quality of hardening. We will explain how output and speed are connected to quality factors. This seminar is aimed at those who are looking to start utilizing laser hardening. 【Recommended for】 ■ Those who want to learn about methods for setting laser hardening conditions ■ Those who want to obtain technical information about laser hardening

Take the 'first step' in DX talent development in Fukuoka. We will hold a free seminar where you can learn reskilling strategies that can be applied in the field through case studies and experiences! 'I've become responsible for DX, but I don't know where to start.' This is a participatory seminar aimed at representatives from small and medium-sized enterprises in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, where you can learn the 'first steps' in DX talent development and implementation support. While introducing case studies of representative DX tools such as Power Automate and Power BI, you will experience hands-on sessions with Copilot, allowing you to grasp practical small-start methods that can be implemented on-site. The content also includes specific success stories from the Fukuoka region, along with tips for promoting understanding and advancement within your organization.

We will be exhibiting at INCHEM TOKYO 2025, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from September 17 (Wednesday) to September 19 (Friday). This time, we will host many events, including special project stages and mini-seminars. At our booth, we will introduce our solutions and technologies based on the theme of "Sustainable Plant Engineering" from three different concepts. Please be sure to stop by our booth, East Hall 6, K-17.

The Siemens EDA Tech Forum is a technical event aimed at sharing the latest technological trends, case studies, and solutions to challenges with everyone involved in the design and development of silicon systems and electronic systems, while addressing evolving technologies, the densification and complexity of designs, and various design challenges, all while meeting requirements for quality, safety, and reliability. The goal is to deepen insights and networks towards achieving sustainable business. The forum covers a wide range of topics, from advanced design technologies and methods in fields such as 3D ICs, chiplets, chips for AI and ML (machine learning), and IC packaging, to the design, analysis, and collaborative development of electronic systems, including printed circuit boards, across multiple domains, as well as building ecosystems both internally and externally using digital threads. Through case presentations and explanations of design methods by industry leaders, it supports solutions to challenges faced in daily design work from all directions. This is a free technical event that requires pre-registration. We hope you will participate!
