DEIというのを知った( I first knew DEI today）
日本語
DEIというものをご存知でしょうか？
の頭文字を取ったものです。
多様な個人を受け入れる組織を作るフレームワークで、研修として行っている企業も多数存在します。
自分のチームのことを振り返った際に、DEIの観点からはまだまだ遠いなと感じました。
私のチームには海外出身の方がいますが、その方がこのチームで働きやすいのかはまだまだ改善の余地があります。
- ドキュメントが日本語
- 会話が日本語ベース
- ハイコンテキストな会話だと理解できない
などなどあり、これらを少しずつ良くしていきたいなぁと思っています。
私たちは日本語と英語の両方でドキュメントを書いたり、私自身の英語力を高めて英語でも対応できるようにしたり、その方の日本語を話す機会を作るなどやっています。
人口減少に伴い外国人を受け入れる企業も多いと思うので、私のように多様性を受け入れられるチーム作りに悩んでいる方も多いのでしょうね。

Do you know about 'DEI'?
DEI is an acronym for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
DEI is a framework aimed at embracing individuals with diverse personalities, and some companies provide training to their employees on this concept.
I have concerns that my team at work still has room for improvement when it comes to DEI.
While we have a team member from overseas, I believe there are steps we can take to ensure their comfort and integration within our team.
The following are the issues that my team faces:
Japanese documentation Conversations primarily conducted in Japanese Difficulty understanding high-context conversations I aim to address these problems gradually.
We are making efforts to create documents in both Japanese and English. Additionally, I am working on improving my English skills to accommodate those who prefer to communicate in English. Moreover, we are creating opportunities for them to engage in Japanese conversations, thus aiding their Japanese language development.
Considering the declining population in Japan, many companies are increasingly accepting workers from overseas. I believe many people face similar challenges in building a cohesive team in terms of DEI.
