Social Human Resource Development

To develop human resources who are proactive, dynamic, and creative and who can be active on a global scale from a long-term perspective, we are implementing various initiatives, including the introduction of different training programs.

In addition, we offer a step-by-step training program for employees to systematically develop next-generation leaders who will play a central role in management.

Our Training Programs

• Capacity building training programs/list of training programs
  We offer various training programs tailored to employees’ duties and job classes.
• Training of new graduates
  In the group training provided immediately after joining the company, new graduates learn the mental attitude they should have as working members of society, basic business etiquette, and knowledge needed to work for our company, among other information. Then, they receive onsite training at laboratories, sales offices, and plants. After they are assigned to a department, senior people mentor them in on-the-job training (OJT), and new graduates learn about their duties as they gain practical experience.
• Mentoring training
  We have introduced this training program, in which trainees learn frames of mind and critical points needed for mentoring and developing new employees and understand the importance of mentoring junior colleagues in the workplace and how to engage with them as mentors.
• Career paths
  We assign, develop, and transfer employees based on their capabilities and aptitudes and implement career development measures so that they can grow personally and live up to their potential while gaining experience and skills.
• Internal TOEIC program
  We have a program under which employees who have fulfilled specific requirements can take the TOEIC IP Test.
• Language training
  As pre-assignment training for expatriates, we provide language training to help them acquire language skills.

Other Programs

• Qualification acquisition incentive system
  To support employees’ personal development, we incentivize employees who have acquired qualifications.

• In-house recruitment system
  We have a system under which we recruit employees who will widely specialize in specific operations from within the company to provide opportunities for them to demonstrate their capabilities proactively and develop a willingness to take on new challenges, among other purposes.
• IIn-house commendation system
  We have introduced an in-house commendation system to enhance employee motivation. The method includes the president’s award granted to individuals, groups, and business sites that have significantly contributed to the improvement of the performance of the company’s business or the development of its business and category awards for new developments, sales and technological developments, cost reduction activities, and other activities. An award certificate and a monetary reward are granted to each winner.

Number of Hours Allocated to Employee Capacity-Building Training

The number of hours allocated to capacity-building training for our employees was as follows.

We hold training sessions while taking thorough measures to control COVID-19 infections, such as by having the training sessions online. We have thus built an environment that enables employees to receive training with a sense of security and provides them with optimal opportunities.
