Human Capital Management Initiatives
The Management Philosophy of the Shindengen Group is “together with society, our customers, and our employees.” We are therefore pursuing human capital management initiatives based on the belief that people’s growth is the source of our corporate value creation and that the diverse and autonomous fusion of various forms of knowledge will lead to the creation of new value and continued growth, and we are implementing our human resources strategy under theme of “connection” with the aim of realizing “personal growth and organizational invigoration.”
Human Resources Strategy: Personal Growth and Organizational Invigoration
The goal of our human resources strategy is to realize “personal growth and organizational invigoration.” Through this strategy we are aiming to create an environment in which every one of our diverse range of employees feels rewarded in their work and is able to freely exercise their capabilities and in which we will create new value through the fusion of autonomous knowledge from individuals.
Theme: Connection
Shindengen Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd.’s human capital management comprises five fields: a foundation of “respect for human rights” and “health and safety” alongside the fields for action in our human resources strategy of “human resource development,” “empowerment of a diverse range of human resources,” and “expansion of flexible working styles.” And with the aim of rebuilding the connection between people and departments that had begun to weaken due to the COVID-19 pandemic and telecommuting, the theme of our human resources strategy is “connection.”
Human resource development
Shindengen Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. faces a significant challenge in securing outstanding human resources amidst a declining workforce. We are therefore pursuing greater diversity in our recruitment, including the hiring of recent graduates with work experience. We are also promoting an in-house side job system and providing career development support to give our employees more opportunities to demonstrate their skills through various career training, division-specific and theme-based training and reskilling in order to improve the retention rate of young employees and to train successors. We provide training to new employees and second and third year employees and training based on qualifications, job type, and position. We also offer open-enrollment self-development education and training such as financial and marketing training, and support the career development of each individual through a self-reporting system and internal recruitment system. Moreover, we are fostering human resources to lead our increasingly globalized business through foreign language training and overseas training for young employees. We have also established a reward system for inventions, ideas, and official qualifications, and we encourage each of our employees to pursue R&D improvements and actively participate in diverse workplaces and work tasks.
Respect for human rights
The Shindengen Group respects international norms with regards to the human rights, and is committed to raising human rights awareness and promoting initiatives for respecting human rights. We provide human rights-related training including harassment and diversity training as a means of preventing human rights risks. We also perform human rights risk assessments by periodically conducting human rights due diligence in our supply chain.
