Maximize the value of human capital
Based on the belief that employees are the Company’s assets, or "human capital," the Group is committed to maximizing the value of its human capital by developing the human resources needed by the Group, improving its personnel system, and promoting work style reforms, while carefully passing on its history of growth through human capital and its corporate culture that respects the out-of-the-box idea of employees.
The Group refers important matters related to human capital – investments concerning human capital, appointments and dismissals of officials and those of a higher position at key divisions and departments, and decisions on and changes to important standards for working conditions – to the Board of Directors for approval. Other matters such as appointments and dismissals of employees of a certain rank or higher and various measures related to human capital, including those to support the administration of health management, are also reported to and supervised by the Board of Directors as appropriate.
Risks in human capital include industrial accidents, law violations by officers and employees, and the draining of talent. To minimize these risks, the Group has in place strict rules on employees’ safety, health, accident compensation, and other aspects, provides compliance training, enhances the personnel system, and improves the workplace environment.
