‘Hamamatsu Global Workplace’ – A Workplace that is Fostering a Foreigner-Friendly Working Environment

Since 2021, HICE (Hamamatsu Foundation for International Communication and Exchange) has been contracted by Hamamatsu City, with the project to certify businesses who are actively supporting the activities of foreign staff.

Not only are the “Hamamatsu Global Workplaces” companies which are excellent in abiding by legislations, but workplaces which have been certified after strict inspections from the viewpoint of interculturalism, by means of interviews with foreign staff.

Examples of Some Initiatives in Hamamatsu Global Workplaces

• Encouraging staff to understand foreign cultures
• Asking staff to use ’Plain Japanese’ to communicate with each other
• Understanding of how to make each staff member’s special qualities shine
• Making support available for learning Japanese
