Survey to visualize the gap between society and the workplace.
At the Randstad booth at 'Tokyo Pride 2026,' visitors can participate in a sticker-voting survey. The survey asks whether people feel progress in systems and laws (Same Rights) and whether their daily comfort in the workplace (Same Life) matches that progress. By visualizing these voices in a four-quadrant chart, Randstad advocates for the importance of psychological safety beyond just institutional changes. Rainbow lanyards and phone tabs will be distributed, with QR codes leading to the special interviews.
