Outline of Survey Benchmark Survey 2009 The purpose of this Benchmark Survey is to provide a timely report on the current situation and changes seen in the Environment of Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in Japan.

3. 2 NPO GEWEL announced its Working Womens Attitude Survey in 2004 and 2006. In 2008, we expanded the samples to include both men and women under the title of Business Persons Attitude Survey and expanded the survey area to include elements of employee satisfaction surveys. 28 companies in Japan participated in this survey. The results of the survey constitute useful information in determining the positioning of each participating company which has been working on D&I promotion for two to three years, as well as to get a view of D&I promotion in companies which have been working on the promotion of D&I for 2-3 years. We plan to continue this survey in 2010 and beyond. The purpose of the 2009 survey is different from previous surveys. The goal was to determine the awareness of D&I among ordinary Japanese businesspersons by targeting a broader sample base. This survey will also provide useful Information on the status of D&I awareness in Japanese society. We are committed to conducting this type of survey every other year to track periodic changes in D&I awareness.

13. 12 Benchmark Survey 2009 Motivation Index 2: Job Content and Work Environment 53% responded that they are satisfied with the content of their jobs. We assumed that the overall level of motivation toward jobs would be low among Japanese businesspersons. However, contrary to our expectations, 48% indicated satisfaction toward the balance of work time and private time. Also, respondents were fairly satisfied with their interpersonal relationships in the workplace. Items that showed dissatisfaction were Compensation level, Management skill of supervisors, and Company vision. Respondents seemed to be dissatisfied with company policies or directions which they could not control. Co-relation analysis suggests that individuals who give high ratings to job content, company vision, and the companys support for career development show higher engagement with the company.
