フジテレビ 中居なかい氏しと女性じょせいめぐる対応たいおうや組織そしき問題もんだい検証けんしょうの番組ばんぐみ放送ほうそう

Fuji TV aired a program examining the series of mishandlings and structural issues within the organization regarding Masahiro Nakai and the former female announcer.

Among these, several former executives who have served as president pointed out that one reason governance did not function was that Hisashi Hieda, who led the management for many years, continued to retain authority over personnel decisions.

Fuji TV aired a special investigative program for 1 hour and 45 minutes starting at 10 a.m. on the 6th.

At the beginning, President Kenji Shimizu apologized and stated, We promise to be reborn as a company that respects human rights.

On the program, in response to a third-party committees indication that meetings with business partners focusing on gender, age, and appearance promoted human rights violations, we confirmed the facts with those involved, such as former president Koichi Minato and former executive director Ryo Ota, who had previously organized gatherings of female employees.

Among these, a female announcer who was invited to the meeting testified that Mr. Ota told her, Female announcers are high-class hostesses, and pointed out that, within a corporate culture said to be tolerant of harassment, the company failed to respond appropriately to problematic incidents.

We also examined the power and responsibility of Hisashi Hieda, former director and advisor, who has had a significant influence on the companys management for many years.

Among them, former Fuji TV presidents such as Ryunosuke Endo and Akira Toyota testified that one of the reasons governance did not function was that Mr. Hieda continued to retain personnel authority.

Regarding this matter, Fuji TV requested interviews with Mr. Hieda three times, but he did not respond.

In the program verifying the testimonies, statements from former executives and current employees were introduced regarding how the former announcer was treated and the corporate culture at Fuji TV, as well as from Announcements Department Director Kyoko Sasaki.

Of these, Kyoko Sasaki, the head of the Announcements Department who served as the contact point with the woman, said, Looking back now, I think experts should have been involved from the beginning, and it wasnt something we could handle ourselves.

He reflected, I think I failed to consider what kind of environment would allow people who have fallen into such situations to return to work.

And regarding the woman who resigned, I take it very seriously that one woman had her dignity hurt, tried to come back, but the more time passed, the more hopeless she felt, and in the end she had no choice but to quit.

While one woman thought she had to quit the job she loved, the other person didnt really change at all. I wondered what this meant.

I felt sorry that it wasnt enough.

I think there were more things I wanted you to ask me, they said.
