Genesis Healthcare at BioJapan 2024
ABOUT US
Our aim is to make a meaningful impact on people’s life, health and wellness through genomic science and artificial intelligence.
CELEBRATION OF HUMANITY
Although all individuals look and think differently, live different lifestyles and speak different languages, 99% of our genetic makeup is common across all humans. The diversity between us comes from the remaining 1%. Our mission is to embrace this 1%, to use genetic analysis to encourage creating a healthy society that celebrates diversity.
PHILOSOPHY
Our mission
Empowering individuals, researchers and corporations through genomic science to evolve towards personalized health prevention and solve complex medical research issues.
OUR VALUES
COMPASSION
The word Compassion in Japanese is called “Jihi". Jihi is also commonly used in Buddhist teachings as a spirituality of enlightenment. The first syllable, “ji” signifies love that grants blessings and respect and personal freedom from caring for others. The Second syllable, “hi,” is benevolence that seeks to rescue people from suffering. Compassion, under Buddhist teachings therefore means to help people rid themselves from suffering and giving them peace. At Genesis Healthcare, Compassion is the most important Philosophy that we adhere to and speak every day. Every decision we make is based on Compassion to help others and society.
CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance is about integrity and responsibility to society. As the leader and pioneer in Genetics in Japan, we constantly question the integrity of our actions at all levels including the types of genetic tests that we offer to proactively engaging ourselves in dialogues with Regulators in formulating guidelines that benefit society, customers and patients. It is our view that ethics is just a word on paper unless it is practiced and put into action.
COOPERATION
On this notion, we connect to our second Corporate Philosophy, “Cooperation. “Humans, throughout our history, have also sought comfort in a band or group of common people with similar culture, history, or ethnic background. It is human nature to feel uncomfortable when there is a different member in a small band of people. However, in our global society, we must “cooperate” and learn to understand and respect our neighbors. At Genesis Healthcare, our employees come from multiple countries and comprise a widely diversified melting pot from different backgrounds from around the world, commanding a level of communication and cooperation unlike none seen in Japanese companies. We are able to cooperate because our treatment toward each other is based on Compassion and Cooperation.
CHANGE
And finally, Genesis Healthcare embraces “Change.” While modern medicine has proven to be effective in many ways, it also has its many challenges including side effects or high costs. With our challenge towards advancement of gene therapy or pursuing new genetic technologies to help those that are suffering, Change is a driver of growth at Genesis Healthcare to be in the forefront the genetic industry. We are constantly pushing ourselves to find the best solution for all stakeholders that resonate with compassion and Corporate Governance with respect towards modern medicine. Perhaps, it is worth to note that the only constant within Genesis Healthcare is its ability to Change and to promote change.
OUR
HR
INITIATIVES
Fostering International Mindset
At Genesis Healthcare, we uphold a unique and innovative HR initiative which focuses on recruiting and retaining talent from those from all backgrounds and offer placement in areas without much experience. The reason is, we value ambition for newcomers to pursue new career areas.
We also do not call our employees “Employees” as is common with most companies. Our employees are referred to as either “Innovators,” “Creators,” “Disruptors,” or “Educators.” We focus on hiring those that can demonstrate their unique talent and potential despite their current, former positions or education.
Project Groups across members of different divisions are typically formed with those from different background to offer fruitful discussions and to bring out the best of delivering the best products, tests and services with the vision in mind. As a result, Genesis may lack organization or structure from within. But, with different mindsets constantly seeking Innovation, Creation, Disruption or Education always at work, it will feel like you are travelling into the future as well. We hope you will choose Genesis Healthcare and become part of the future of genetic science.
