E-Falcon Corporation Recognized for Excellence in Psychological Safety

E-Falcon Corporation, headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo, and led by President Nobuaki Tanaka, has recently earned the prestigious Silver Ring Award at the 2025 Psychological Safety Award event, organized by ZENTech Inc. This award recognizes teams and organizations that excel at fostering psychological safety, creating effective environments that allow for confronting challenges and achieving results.

The Psychological Safety Award, initiated by ZENTech in 2022, is now in its fourth iteration. The entry period for this year spanned from March 3 to April 18, with numerous submissions from various entities including corporations, healthcare organizations, schools, non-profit organizations, and sports teams showcasing their initiatives and best practices in psychological safety. Following a thorough evaluation, E-Falcon was selected for the Silver Ring Award.

A Commitment to Engaging Workplaces

The review committee praised E-Falcon for its strong belief in the potential of both individuals and organizations. Their innovative approach in applying their strengths as an assessment provider to drive their own transformation is noteworthy. Remarkably, E-Falcon managed to elevate its engagement score from BBB to AAA within a single year, demonstrating a solid commitment to organizational improvement.

Part of this success can be attributed to their focus on integrating employee characteristics into the organizational fabric. They've employed an inclusive process for defining their corporate philosophy, documenting their organizational principles (WAY), and revamping their evaluation and reward systems. This systematic approach towards reconstructing their organizational culture was particularly impressive to the judges.

Moreover, addressing a specific trait among their workforce—tendency to suppress emotions—E-Falcon initiated strategies involving face-to-face discussions and chat-based communication to draw out individual perspectives. This inventive method not only fosters inclusiveness but also emphasizes the importance of every voice, proving to be a highly reproducible practice in enhancing psychological safety.
