Human Resource Development

Policy and Basic Concept

ºÚÁÏÍø has continued efforts to push the growth of our employees, who are the nexus for realizing hhc. The success of our employees in turn, has led to the growth of our business. Amidst rapid environment changes and an uncertain future outlook, we are actively seeking to deepen our current business while exploring and creating new ventures that go beyond our existing framework. To achieve this, we encourage our employees to take control of their own careers, stimulate their willingness to take on challenges, and provide a supportive system to help them achieve self-fulfillment.

Targets, Issues and Actions

To nurture talented individuals who can grow by building their careers autonomously, and taking on challenges, we are working on establishing a diverse training system. This system provides opportunities for employees to revisit their own careers to clarify their future goals and acquire and apply the necessary skills and experiences aligned with their individual visions for the future. To shift towards a training system that offers opportunities for individualized learning and challenges, based on personal preferences and specific needs, we have been implementing various initiatives under the name of “Learning Reform.” These efforts aim to foster employees’ autonomous growth and provide a platform for them to choose and pursue their own learning styles.

Structures and Systems

ºÚÁÏÍø has a number of programs that support proactive career development and cross-divisional interactions within and outside the company, enabling employees to expand the field of vision, enhance their expertise, and develop their careers on their own by utilizing a variety of programs in addition to their daily work.
