Diversity and equal opportunities

TechnoPro Smile was established as a specialized subsidiary in 2007 and currently operates service centers in five domestic regions. It carries out operations such as data entry, office support and printing. TechnoPro Smile handles orders from not only the TechnoPro Group, but also the companies outside the Group.

In 2019, TechnoPro Smile signed a three party “Agreement on the Promotion of Employment of Persons with Disabilities through a Collaborative Network” with Nerima Ward and the Nerima Ward Social Welfare Council.
This agreement was initiated following the opening in Hikarigaoka, Nerima Ward (Takamatsu, Nerima Ward, Tokyo) of TechnoPro Smile’s fifth service center nationwide. This was used as an opportunity for discussions among the three parties, during which it was agreed to work together to create an environment to promote the employment of people with disabilities.

We are not bound by gender-based prejudice or stereotyped role consciousness, and we promote, hire, and evaluate fairly based on individual abilities so that each person can realize his or her career vision and life plan. We have many female engineers and researchers working in leadership roles.

We are focusing on global recruitment, including graduate recruitment in partnership with overseas science and engineering universities. We are building the onboarding system in addition to providing support through Japanese language courses and training to understand Japanese lifestyle and business practices so that all employees can play an active role regardless of nationality, culture, or language differences. Moving forward, we will actively promote human resource exchanges with the Group overseas companies.

In Japan, due to an increasing healthy life expectancy and legal system enhancements, the number of seniors working beyond retirement age is increasing. For engineers, needs and expectations in areas such as technological succession and career advice are also increasing with corporate demand for senior and skilled engineers.
The TechnoPro Group is working toward an employment support system that enables the senior generation to play an active role whilst maintaining health and peace of mind, including taking into consideration the individual’s workstyle from the perspectives of retirement hopes, ability and health.
