■transcosmos key initiatives

・Taking two assignment approaches in parallel. One is a team-based model, receiving job orders from both internal and external customers as a team, with each individual working on their tasks as a member of the team. The other is a distributed assignment approach, through which an individual is assigned to a department of the company, and works as a member of the department.

・Roughly 80% of people with disabilities play an active role in profit centers - service-related departments that directly generate sales - making a huge contribution to the company.

With the aim of creating a workplace where each employee with a diverse background can work actively and demonstrate their full potential, transcosmos will continue to drive its Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives.
