Our people
We support our people’s professional deve- lopment, health and wellbeing and ensure they work in a diverse and welcoming en- vironment, so they can fulfill their potential.
Asics talent management
We want to ensure our strong, diverse and inclusive team of employees is supported in their day-to-day work and their long-term careers. We do this through career support, coaching and leadership training.
Training and development opportunities include ASICS Academy (our next-generation leader development program), the Sustainable Fashion Academy (which lets employees learn about sustainability in the fashion industry), and new employee training.
Diversity and inclusion
In order to help people achieve a ‘Sound Mind, Sound Body’, we need people who look at the world from every angle. That is why we are committed to inclusion across race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity, to build a diverse team who can drive our innovations and can truly improve people’s lives.
One Team, Stronger Together
Our Diversity and Inclusion Vision is called One Team, Stronger Together. This describes how we as an organization envision a future where people of all backgrounds can play a role in improving people’s lives to achieve a ‘Sound Mind, Sound Body’. We set targets across all regions to improve the diversity of our workforce.
Employee well-being
Our mission is to promote a healthy lifestyle through sports, and as such, we value the health
of our employees. The ASICS Well-Being Committee formulates and implements action plans to
improve the health and weII-being of employees, with the aim of embodying ‘Sound mind’ and
‘Sound body’.
We want to give our colleagues the support they need,so we conducted an employee survey in 2021 to find out more about their comfort at work, communication, breaks, exercise, eating habits,
cleanliness and health literacy. The results of the survey enabled us to take action to better support well-being at ASICS . In 2022, we will extend the activities to include employees’ health literacy.

Online STAYHOME initiative for employees working from
home
With the restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, many people moved less – they worked from home, so they didn’t need to walk during their journey to work, sports facilities were often closed, and team sports were on hold. To help our employees to keep moving, we continued our online
fitness program. Since 2020, the staff at ASICS Sports Complex TOKYO BAY – an urban hypoxia (low-oxygen) environment training facility operated by ASICS – have been holding online
seminars for employees.
The 2020 results of our annual ASICS Health Care Check (AHCC) showed changes in physical fitness during COVID-19. The stay- at-home guidance issued throughout the pandemic unfortunately resulted in a decrease in physical fitness. However, participating
in online fitness at least three times a week for eight weeks did significantly improve leg strength and shoulder flexibility.
