In particular, the Academic Affairs Department, which won the Work Practice of the Year (Grand Prize), was recognized for its efforts to significantly improve convenience for both staff and students, while closely coordinating with multiple departments within the institution, which led to its award.

At the ceremony, after a speech from Secretary-General Noma, who is also the head of the Work Style Reform Promotion Headquarters, the Chairman presented the certificates and prizes for the four awards, including the Work Practice of the Year award, to the representatives of the groups that implemented the initiatives.

We will continue to promote these initiatives across the entire corporation and aim to create a comfortable workplace.
