Investment in Human Capital

Human resource development policy

In order to “contribute to society with quality products” as stated in Yukiguni Maitake’s company motto, it is essential for us to have a sincere attitude toward safe and secure monozukuri (manufacturing) and a willingness to take on challenges to co-create higher quality and new value.

We respect the “autonomy” and “challenge” of our employees and provide them with opportunities to improve their skills. We will also actively develop and promote highly specialized human resources that can proceed with our Medium-Term Business Plan.
Moreover, in order to respect different values and encourage the creation of new value, we will work on improving the sustainability of our business by promoting empowerment of female employees and the development of next-generation human resources.

System to promote human resource development

Promotion system

Our clear criteria for promotions are set in the written definitions of each position grade, and we conduct a promotion screening once a year. All employees have the opportunity for promotion based on self-recommendation if the criteria are met. In addition, before and after promotions, we also provide educational opportunities for employees to acquire the skills required for each position.
