We believe that promoting the development of our employees' abilities and motivating them to take on new challenges lead to a sense of fulfillment in life, work, and self-fulfillment. In addition, we actively develop our human resources, as each employee's self-fulfillment and growth are essential to improving our performance as a company. The KING JIM Group regards its employees as its most valuable asset and a driving force for growth. As such, we develop innovative human resources who are motivated to take on the challenge of creating new value. We also make an internal work environment in which employees can each exert their abilities to the maximum and be active just the way they are. ・We conduct fair and equitable selection and hiring procedures from the perspective of innovation, company growth, and diversity. ・We encourage employees to take on new challenges in pursuit of innovation, motivating them to achieve personal growth.
・We place a high value on a mindset that embraces challenges without fear of failure. Learning from failure leads to growth.
・Creating an atmosphere of healthy competition and emphasizing personal growth and contribution to the company boost employee engagement. ・We support autonomous learning and offer opportunities for employees to nurture their creative thinking abilities and cultivate a global mindset. ・We make commendations and compensation decisions to appropriately reward employees’ performance based on fair evaluation. ・We make every effort to assure the safety of our employees and promote their physical and mental health.
・We foster an open and healthy workplace environment to promote vibrant communication among employees. ・We create a dynamic workplace environment where all individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, presence of disabilities, and other aspects, can actively participate and contribute. ・In order to maximize motivation and foster innovative thinking among our employees, we introduce systems that respect the unique lifestyles of each individual. Through this approach, we aim to create a healthy work-life balance for our employees. We offer e-learning courses that employees can freely take, at no cost, from many subjects, including Business Skills, Languages, Management, and Labor and Mental Health. Employees can attend any number of seminars or training sessions, held over 4,000 times annually across 100 themes, at no cost to themselves regardless of whether they are executive, managerial, or regular employees. We designate recommended courses and annual attendance targets according to level to ensure broad access to learning opportunities. We offer correspondence courses on business skills and language proficiency for advancement requirements and self-development. We provide partial financial support for employees to learn subjects related to their current or future work as part of our self-development support program, including course-related fees (e.g., admission and tuition). Our annual overseas training program aims to develop a global workforce by sending selected young employees to overseas affiliated companies as trainees for one year. Trainees benefit from the opportunity to work in a different culture and then apply their experiences to their work upon their return home. We conduct annual training for employees newly appointed as managers, aimed at teaching the skills required for management roles and concepts such as labor management, communication, and personnel evaluation. Based on the themes of “enriching your life through smart choices ~ secrets to rational asset management — take the first step towards the future” and “ what you can do now for a more secure and prosperous retirement ~ let’s think about retirement plans”, we conduct original seminars for our executives and employees on topics including public pensions, employee stock ownership plans, defined contribution pensions, NISA, investment trusts, and iDeCo, among others, with Director Iwaki, an external director, as the instructor.
In order to fulfill our social responsibility, we will continue to work on asset management support, including retirement funds for our employees. After a month-long group orientation at our headquarters, new employees receive on-the-job training in their respective departments to gain operational skills. At the year-end of the year they join the company in, we also provide a follow-up group orientation at headquarters.
We also use e-learning for prospective employees to learn business fundamentals before joining the company.

To meet increasingly diverse life plans, we have established a program to support employees who wish to become self-employed or change their career paths.
The program provides special assistance allowances and outplacement support to employees who meet the eligibility requirements, voluntarily announce their intent to leave the company and request to utilize the program.

Similar to the second career support program above, to meet increasingly diverse life plans, this program aims to support employees who seek self-employment or career changes.
Under the program, employees who meet the eligibility requirements and voluntarily apply for career development assistance leave receive assistance payments. Their termination dates will fall on the expiration date of their leave.
At the KING JIM Group, we recognize employees who have made outstanding contributions by presenting them with the President's Award. The President's Award recipients receive a monetary reward. This program motivates employees and increases general engagement with the company. Career challenges aim to recruit capable and motivated employees from throughout the company to achieve the following four objectives:

①Provide employees opportunities to demonstrate their abilities actively and foster a challenging organizational culture.
②Allocate the right personnel to key divisions to respond flexibly to changing business environments.
③Support employees seeking to build their careers on their initiative by providing skills, career development, and improvement assistance.
④Avoid the lock-in of personnel and revitalize the organization through the mobility of human resources.
