Comments from the Recruitment Manager Our company promotes management that treats business strategies for maximizing customer value and organizational strategies for maximizing human capital as equally important, linking the two together.

As indicators for this, we have established "Human Resource Capability" and "Organizational Capability (Engagement)" as key KPIs. Human Resource Capability refers to the degree of alignment between the abilities required by the organization and the abilities possessed by the individual, while Organizational Capability refers to the degree of alignment between the organization's ideal state and the individual's motivation. To improve these, we have been strengthening our "recruitment branding" using job information media in the recruitment sector since last year.

This award demonstrates that we have been able to realize the recruitment of talent equipped with high human resource capability and engagement. We are very pleased that our efforts over the past year have led to this result.

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