SalivaTech Inc. (Headquarters: Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, CEO: Makoto Sunamura), which provides the saliva-based cancer risk test "Saliva Checker®", held a dialogue-based workshop titled "Serious, Honest, Essential Growth Potential Meeting" for all employees on June 15 (Mon.) and 16 (Tue.), 2026. This event was conducted with the aim of improving the quality of the testing services provided by resolving communication gaps within the company due to organizational expansion, building common language, and ultimately strengthening the organization and fostering individual growth. Mr. Tomohiro Sawada explaining the workshop overview to employees on the day. Background and Objectives of the Event While SalivaTech has grown as a bio-venture contributing to society through saliva analysis technology, challenges have arisen due to a lack of daily communication and insufficient common understanding and language within the company. Therefore, this workshop was planned as the first step to formulate a "Credo (Code of Conduct)" that will serve as a guideline for improving SalivaTech in the future, by allowing each employee to express their genuine feelings and thoughts about the company. The workshop is imbued with the strong belief that individual growth and organizational strengthening are the foundations for elevating the quality of services delivered to customers to the highest level. Overview of the Company-Wide Workshop "Serious, Honest, Essential Growth Potential Meeting" Creative Director Tomohiro Sawada, who has handled numerous social impact projects and diversity-driven organizational development, was invited as the facilitator. The workshop involved discussions and company-wide sharing in small teams, divided across roles and departments, using a unique 4-step structure that transforms "dissatisfaction and complaints" into future "growth potential."
