Human Resource Development Policy

Our goal is to contribute to society and the growth of the Group by creating a work environment where every individual can enjoy a sense of fulfillment. Based on the components of our Management Philosophy system, namely our Vision Statement, which calls for respecting the values of each and every one of our employees and aims to be a company that grows together, and our Human Resources Policy of cultivating self-disciplined members of society who continuously achieve personal growth, we have established HR systems and education and training systems that enable all employees to maximize their capabilities. As part of our human resource development policy, we have introduced career training and early career rotations to enable employees to envision their future careers and work for the long term with peace of mind.

Developing Talent

Expanding educational opportunities

In order to ensure that all employees embody our Human Resources Policy, we have formulated an education plan that emphasizes setting learning goals, holding training interviews, and independently developing the competencies needed to fulfill the roles expected of employees. As part of this, the Human Resources Department works with each division and site to establish competency requirements (knowledge and skills according to roles and duties) that serve as guidelines for human resource development, and has established self-study support tools and training systems for acquiring such knowledge and skills.
