Conducted diversity (female participation)
training (for female employees and male managers)
Human Resources & Working Styles
Based on our philosophy of “respect for humanity,” the Maruichi Steel Tube Group creates companies brimming with dreams, in which diverse employees can play an active role, and to which they can entrust their lives. We regard the creation of healthy working environments where all employees can work in safety as directly linked to the enhancement of corporate value, and we are focusing on labor health and safety initiatives.
Education and Training Systems
Beginning with training aimed at each employee rank, we are creating educational systems, not only to instruct employees in compulsory areas such as safety and compliance, but also to develop the career and enhance the skills of each individual employee.
Self-Development Program
・
Self-development support system, public qualification allowance
We subsidize the cost of correspondence courses (specified by the Company) that are undertaken by employees to acquire over 30 different qualifications specified by the Company.
After employees gain a qualification, they continue to receive an allowance in accordance with rank.
We support employees’ desire to learn.
・
Internal English conversation lessons
Employees may elect to receive free English conversation lessons inside the Company. We help employees improve their English speaking ability, in the context of accelerating globalization.
Diversity and Inclusion
In the context of increasingly serious labor shortages due to low birth rates and an aging population, we consider the creation of an environment that tolerates flexible work styles to fit with the diverse circumstances of individual employees to be a management issue directly linked with the enhancement of corporate value. We are actively engaged in promoting initiatives in this area.
