Human resources strategy

~We share our management philosophy with every employee and create synergy by multiplying factors such as diverse values, teamwork, and the environment.~

Since our establishment in 1901, the foundation of our products has been our "workers." We cultivate working environments where our diverse workforce can maximize their respective strengths and continue to work with motivation and enthusiasm. We examine current systems and implement new ones for work styles and human resource training to continue offering our customers products that provide a sense of security, backed by rewarding workplaces.

Education and training programs

The purpose of our training is to impart the skills and expertise required for each position and function. Our training also aims to develop individuals who can proactively and creatively act to achieve the expected results, while observing our compliance standards and independently assessing matters based on our corporate group’s management philosophy, business philosophy, vision, basic strategies, and code of conduct. Our education system consists of two types: role-specific training and objective-specific training. The role-specific training, which is offered across departments, aims to improve each employee’s interpersonal skills and understanding of the role for their job level. The objective-specific training aims to impart the specialized knowledge necessary for their job and to develop next-generation leaders through a selective process. We also promote pre-training input (self-development) in compliance training, self-development correspondence courses, and other programs to develop our employees’ ability to resolve their own issues.

Promoting employee engagement

We evaluate each employee regularly to ensure they can perform to their full capacity and continue growing. In addition, an in-house extracurricular system was introduced in April 2022 to create opportunities for employees to socialize and to improve their physical and mental health, thereby stimulating communication beyond workplaces. We will continue our efforts to create fulfilling workplaces and enhance employee engagement.

Initiatives to promote the advancement of women

We are committed to advancing women’s empowerment and addressing this urgent issue as part of our diversity promotion.

  1. Aiming for 30% or higher for the ratio of women to all full-time employees hired

  2. Aiming to sustain our 100% childcare leave utilization rate among female employees and aim for 40% or higher among male employees

[Measures to increase the ratio of women in managerial positions]

We encourage remote work, satellite offices, and the introduction of a business-casual dress code to accommodate diverse work styles flexibly. In addition, to enable employees to continue to work while raising children or caring for sick or elderly family members, we are enhancing our system to better support reduced working days, shorter working hours, and care and nursing leave.

Childcare support initiatives

We are working to improve work-life balance and to create safe and comfortable work environments for our employees, so that they can perform to their full capacity while balancing work and childcare.

  1. Support a healthy balance between our employees’ personal and professional lives by introducing systems to improve their work-life balance

  2. Introduce and promote the use of various personnel systems that contribute to reviewing work styles

  3. Reduce working hours

Invention reward system

"COMPOSITES" is part of our company name. We consider the proprietary technologies we have developed over the years centered on composite technology to be a valuable management resource that supports our business. We offer rewards to employees who have created beneficial inventions, designs, and other works through our invention reward system in line with our employee invention system. For inventions and other works that increase profitability, we offer rewards in accordance with the level of contribution.

Health management initiatives

Since April 2020, we have promoted health management throughout our corporate group. Our philosophy's keyword, "proactive communication," was inspired by our foundation principle, "Fujikura’s spirit of nurturing harmony among people." With these in mind, we strive to promote wellness activities to realize an environment where every employee can shine with energy.

Health Management Declaration

Recognizing our employees’ health as an essential management resource, the FUJIKURA COMPOSITES Group actively supports individuals to engage in voluntary wellness activities and promotes organizational wellness activities.

The four keywords of our wellness policy are "diet (nutrition)," "rest," "exercise," and "smiling," which promote the "physical, mental, and social health and sense of security" of our employees.

Wellness promotion activities

Each of our business sites has a Wellness Promotion Committee that encourages health management and implements measures that match each site’s unique circumstances.

Mental health

We promote mental health care to create environments where each employee can shine with energy based on the "proactive communication" outlined in our "Declaration of Promoting Wellness Activities."
