Hokuetsu Group Basic Policy on Diversity
Hokuetsu Group Basic Policy on Diversity
In the Group Corporate Philosophy, our Group shares the vision of respecting diversity and maximizing human resources as a "people focused business," while the Group Code of Conduct shares the vision of respecting cultures, religions, and customs of countries and regions in which we operate, and strives to act by appreciating diversity in values.
Under these basic understandings, we aim to sustainably enhance our corporate value by securing diversity in the use of core human resources who can act as the driving force behind change to rapidly transform our business portfolio and promote innovation in response to rapidly changing business conditions.
Policy to ensure diversity in human resource development and internal environment
We aim to boost individual motivation and revitalize our organization by allowing each and every employee, regardless of their gender or nationality, to proactively develop his or her own career. At the same time, we aim to support the activities of diverse human resources and foster a positive corporate culture conducive to work that respect the independence of employees and spirit to take on challenges.
We aim to create an environment where each of our diverse employees can achieve the work-life balance they desire by revising our work system to realize flexible work styles, expanding support systems for employees with childcare and nursing care needs, and promoting health management.
