The top executive of Japan 's largest cosmetics company discussed the important steps that Shiseido has taken in improving its diversity as it works to become a more globalized enterprise. Shiseido said Monday it had established a venture with leading Japanese child-care company JP Holdings. Called Kodomology, the business will work to establish and operate in-house nursery schools in companies across Japan. Shiseido's own day-care center in its corporate office was established in 2003 and has since earned much acclaim, including a visit by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2013, who has said that making it easier for women to reenter the workforce after having children is key to boosting Japan's economy.
