Article 2:
Nissan Motor's sales executives in Japan used to take cars to customers' homes for viewing, often late in the evening. Now the showrooms and salespeople operate more regular working 1_________.
The change of approach might sound like a decline in personal service. In fact, it is signed to be the opposite. Cars are no longer just 'boys' toys', even in conservative Japan. Nissan's research 2________ that women make a third of car purchases, and women and men jointly make another third. Female customers overwhelmingly would like there to be more women in the sales 3_________, but the late hours made the job unappealing to women in a country where there is still often a stark choice between work and family.
These findings prompted Carlos Ghosn, Chief Executive of Nissan and Renault, to adopt a strategy to hire and promote more women into the 4_________ ranks.
Since 2004, Nissan's 'Women in the Driver's Seat' initiative has more than doubled 5__________ of female engineering graduates to 17 per cent this year and recruitment of female salespeople has jumped from 15 per cent to 34 per cent.
The number of women managers at Nissan, while still tiny, has 6________ from 2 per cent to 5 per cent. 'In an ideal situation, we should mirror the market we serve - 50 per cent - but there is a long way to go,' says Miyuki Takahashi, General Manager of the Diversity Development Office that runs the initiative to woo female employees and customers.
At a conference organised by Catalyst, which researches and campaigns for the advancement of women in business, Nissan was one of this year's two 7_________ winners, not least for having hit its initial target of women making up 5 per cent of its managers in an industry in which the average is just 0.6 per cent.
Nissan says that getting more women engineers into the company in which 80 per cent of employees are engineers, is important to its success. 'Males are attracted by big pictures of cars and specifications about performance,' says Ms. Takahashi who was previously Marketing Director in Japan. 'We found most mothers were 8_________ by pictures of a family having a great time with the car.'
To prioritise female customers, three years ago Nissan 9_________ the Serena people carrier, which was designed by and for women. Last year, it won the top-selling 10_________ in Japan. Ms. Takahashi says, "I am convinced that this hit is closely related to women's advancement in Nissan in terms of marketing and sales.
