Policy for Human Capital Development

Policy for human capital development

The Group positions "(1) Employees' demonstration of their strengths" and "(2) Career independence" as two important factors in the realization of the "Risou no ko" (ideal individual). We will commit to human capital development that will enable individual employees to develop independently.

(1) Demonstration of their strengths (strengths indicator)
Every employee demonstrating their strengths leads to the organization as a whole achieving goals. Accordingly, we will allocate human capital appropriately, provide employees with training opportunities, and support them in their taking on challenges, so that our diverse human capital can fully demonstrate their strengths.

(2) Career independence (Self-career indicator)
Enabling employees to make self-directed career choices leads to their own personal development. Accordingly, we will provide them with opportunities to choose career paths and engage in a dialogue with them to enable them to establish careers based on their orientation and strengths. By doing this, we will support our employees in their independent development of their careers and their active participation in the Group over the long term.
