The push for more women at the upper levels of Japan¡¯s largest staffing agency is part of a diversity drive to ensure a flow of bright business ideas, said Chief Operations Officer Ayano ¡°Sena¡± Senaha, its most senior female executive.
As of April 1, 21% of Recruit¡¯s senior executives, including heads of major business units, were women, compared with 10% a year earlier, according to company data.
