Comments from the Recruitment Department

We view business strategy that maximizes customer value and organizational strategy that maximizes human capital as equally important, and we promote management that links the two.

As indicators for this, we have set "human resource capability" and "organizational capability (engagement)" as important KPIs. Human resource capability refers to the degree of alignment between the capabilities required by the organization and those possessed by individuals. Organizational capability refers to the degree of alignment between the desired state of the organization and individual motivation. To improve these, we have been strengthening "recruitment branding" in the recruitment domain using job information media since last year.

This award signifies that we have been successful in recruiting individuals with high human resource capability and engagement. We are very pleased that our efforts over the past year have led to these results.

On the other hand, we recognize that there is still room for further improvement in our recruitment brand value. Moving forward, as a company leading in human capital management, we will continue to work on improving human resource capability and engagement, and promote the establishment of our brand value in the new graduate recruitment market.
