Efforts for human resource development

Recruitement and Staff Training Policy

We position human resources with "sincere humanity," "rich creativity," and "robust spirit of challenge" that can embody our management philosophy of "integrity, creativity, and challenge" as the type of human resources we seek. , we will promote “recruitment” and “development” of autonomous human resources who voluntarily work on their work and take on challenges as two pillars of human capital investment.

We actively recruit and promote talented and motivated personnel regardless of whether they are new graduates or experienced employees
Our basic policy is to actively recruit and appoint talented and motivated personnel with consideration for nationality, origin, and gender equality. We will promote the hiring of experienced personnel and reinforce mid-career human resources who will be candidates for management successors and executives.

Inheritance of knowledge/skills according to specialized field and occupational hierarchy
In response to the growing need for measurement and globalization, human resource development consists of both company-wide training and department-specific training. In order to acquire skills, we will hold regular study sessions by experienced senior employees in departmental education and enhance OJT education based on the instructor system.

Self-development support (including reskill support) and career development support
In addition to supporting self-development through correspondence course and a qualification incentive system, we promote comprehensive skill development through systematic job rotations for young employees, participation in various projects, and cross-departmental work sharing, and accompany the career development of individual employees.

Through these efforts, we aim to build a strong organization that can withstand changes in the business environment and foster an organizational culture that can achieve sustainable growth.
