She emphasized the tremendous opportunity and responsibility of Japanese subsidiaries to proactively support the mental health and well-being of expatriates and their families. Ms. Kokaze also reflected on how this background has shaped her professional journey while engaging in dialogue with visiting students from Chuo University in Japan.
