Olympus has actively implemented and tracked measures from the last Core Values Survey, an all-employee engagement survey conducted in 2021. Since then, company-wide initiatives have since included site visits by Executive Officers, optimization of decision-making processes, monitoring and follow-up on employee work-life balance, and the creation and implementation of standardized Global Working Guidelines.
In November 2022, we conducted an interim Core Values Survey Check-in to assess the state of our organization. Based on the results, we reinforced and adjusted various activities to improve our culture and employee experience. These efforts include the continuation and expansion of our Global Working Guidelines, as well as focused efforts within our R&D and manufacturing organizations.
Looking ahead, Olympus is developing a comprehensive, company-wide employee listening program that goes beyond traditional surveys. This program aims to empower employees to speak up and ensures their feedback is transformed into impactful actions that drive positive change and foster continuous improvement within a Healthy Organization.
