Creating a system that makes it easy to work and creating opportunities for people to play an active role

As 56.2% of the employees at the three companies that make up the core of our group's business - MTG, MTG Professional, and MTG FORMAVITA - are female, we have positioned the “promotion of women's success” as an important theme that will lead to the growth of the entire group, and we are working to create systems that are easy to work in for both men and women and to create opportunities for success.

Development of systems that make it easier to work

We have developed various systems, such as annual paid leave, childcare and nursing care leave, and a shortened working hour system, so that both men and women can work in a way that suits their life stage.

Creation of opportunities for female employees to play an active role

Women are playing active roles as group leaders (equivalent to section managers) and store managers in a wide range of jobs, including sales and store management. In the future, we will implement group leader training, section manager training, and training for female employees' superiors, so that more women can play a role in management positions.

Creating a rewarding work environment

Employees with disabilities grow herbs in a cultivation room with a plant system installed indoors, and the harvested crops are processed into herbal tea. At the hot water dispensers in the Nagoya head office and Tokyo branch office, we provide Kawagoe Farm's herbal tea free of charge as part of our in-house employee welfare program, so that employees can enjoy herbal tea freely.
In addition, by bringing in-house work that is currently outsourced and forming specialized work teams, we aim to create a more rewarding workplace environment and increase the ratio of disabled employees from 2.36% in the fiscal year ending September 2024 to 2.7% by 2027.
In addition, with regard to foreign employees, the ratio of foreign employees in the entire Group is 6.6%, and the ratio of foreign employees directly employed by the Company is 9 countries. We will continue to work to promote diversity in the future.

② Human resource development and career development in practice

Human resource development and career development in practice

One shines

Supporting the autonomous development of employee skills

Implementation of training by rank and year of employment

In addition to onboarding training for new graduates and mid-career hires to promote their early integration and success, we also provide annual training, management training for managers and group leaders, and other learning opportunities, creating an environment where each and every employee can continue to take on new challenges.

Implementation of the Hikari Philosophy Co-education Group

With the aim of achieving the happiness of each and every employee in both material and spiritual terms and creating a healthy corporate culture, we regularly provide opportunities for employees to learn about the Hikari Philosophy, the ideas that our group values, regardless of their employment status or position.

Career Development Support

In order to accelerate the autonomous career development and skill development of our employees, we are working to create skill maps that visualize the skills required for each department. By understanding the skills and levels required for each person's work, we will support them in creating their own vision of what they want to become and creating opportunities for them to learn independently.

③ Fostering individuals with a managerial mindset

Fostering individuals with a managerial mindset

One shines

Through opportunities to access management information, we aim to promote management by all employees.

Implementation of a group management system

In our group, we have adopted a “group management system” that encourages employees to improve the profitability of their own organization by dividing the organization into small management units and clearly identifying the profit and loss of each unit. We also hold monthly review meetings where the directors ask about the profitability of each business, and we are working to improve the management skills of our leaders.

Implementation of management policy announcement meetings

In order to ensure that each and every employee understands the messages and management policies of the management team, we hold company-wide management policy briefings that all employees can attend, and also hold briefings on the policies of each department, which are based on the company-wide policies. These are opportunities for employees to come into contact with the policies of the management team and leaders.

Implementation of study sessions for leaders

We hold regular study sessions for all leaders at the section manager level and above to help them become true managers. The president himself acts as the instructor, providing direct guidance to leaders, and the sessions are used as a place to improve management skills through topics such as how to draw up organizational and business strategies and visions, and how to build relationships of trust with members.

Preventing illness of the mind and body of employees

Promoting re-examinations of health check-ups

We promote appropriate medical check-ups at medical institutions by encouraging employees to visit them through recommendations from industrial health staff, and we also aim to detect and treat diseases at an early stage. We also promote lifestyle improvements and behavioral changes by making use of specific health guidance and information provision.

Supporting cancer screenings

In addition to regular health check-ups, we also provide full subsidies for various cancer screenings, including stomach cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer, to support the maintenance of employee health and the early detection and treatment of diseases.

Strengthening mental health support (utilizing stress checks)

While the quantitative burden is high among the scales used to measure overall health risks, workplace support is functioning well. We will continue to utilize group analysis to maintain the current level and strengthen mental health support throughout the workplace through line care.
