Stance on Diversity

The Tokyo Seimitsu Group believes that people inspiring each other on the basis of diverse perspectives and ideas can create new value and achieve synergies that exceed the sum of individual abilities. We are committed to eliminating acts of discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, country of origin, or disabilities, as well as to creating workplaces where diverse human resources can work in a safe and healthy environment.

Our goal is to build a work environment in which the individuality of each member of the workforce is respected and employees can work actively with a sense of fulfillment while bringing the best out of themselves.


In order to increase the number of women in core positions, we consider it an urgent priority to hire more female regular employees and improve our work environment. We have the "Action Plan for Promoting Employment and Careers of Women" (FY2021 - FY2025) in place, which sets the targets to be achieved by the end of FY2025.

  • Percentage of female employee hires (regular employees) 20%
  • Percentage of female employees (regular employees) 10%

We are also committed to raising awareness in the Company toward active participation by female employees and supporting them.

Human Resource Development

Human Resource Development Policy of the Tokyo Seimitsu Group

The mission of the Group includes:
“Growing together with partners and customers by collaborating technology, knowledge and information to create the world’s No. 1 products,” and
“WIN–WIN relationships create the world’s No. 1 products!”

To fulfill this mission, we need employees who can:

  • Gain a high level of trust by facing customers' issues and solving them;
  • Accept diverse values and see things from the other person's point of view to draw out mutual strengths and cooperate with each other; and
  • Connect their own ideas to technical and business innovations, aim for high goals, and grow autonomously.


The Group supports the growth of its employees, who are the most important asset, by creating a work environment and implementing measures as described below:

  • Provide educational programs, including training and education, according to the growth stage of individual employees
  • Provide employees with opportunities to take on challenges in the workplace and support through communication with their supervisors
  • Promote various measures and create an environment in which diverse human resources can feel fulfilled in their work and can play an active role

Training System

At Tokyo Seimitsu, a specific career path is defined for each individual job type (engineering, sales, manufacturing, service, and management).

  • Providing an environment and opportunities (platform) for employees to voluntarily participate in training
  • Supporting employees in acquiring necessary knowledge in each stage of growth

Based on these concepts, various education and training programs are provided to develop employees' ability and committed to the human resources.

Our training programs break down into common training, level-specific training, and section-specific training. Each of them includes group training for employees to learn from each other, on-the-job training to promote growth through practical work, and self-development support to assist autonomous learning by employees.

 Common training This training is conducted for acquiring the knowledge and skills that are required across the Company.
 Level-specific training This training is conducted for employees to learn the skills that they need in executing their job at their job level.
 Section-specific training This training is conducted at each individual section for employees to acquire the highly specialized knowledge that they need in their organization or for their job.
  • Cultivation of autonomous human resources
    "Training on human resource development skills" is provided to supervisors in order to help them develop their members who can grow autonomously.Through this training, supervisors will acquire "dialogue skills that support growth".
    In addition, as an opportunity for supervisors to objectively look back on their own actions, 360-degree feedback is conducted once a year, and reflection training sessions are held.
  • Personal development support
    We offer e-learning and correspondence education courses for personal development. A variety of courses covering a wide range of fields are available for acquiring skills and qualifications concerning technology, business, management, computer, language, etc. Employees can choose any course related to the skill they want to acquire.
    E-learning courses are free. Employees who complete a correspondence education course receive a grant for their education fee. By improving the contents of the training courses and offering larger grants, we help employees upgrade their skills as they grow.

Engagement

In order for our Group to achieve significant growth in a rapidly changing environment, we believe it is important to create an environment that enables our employees to maximize their abilities and perform at their best.
In March 2023, the Company began an engagement survey to measure the state of employee engagement. Through this survey, we will be able to understand the level of employees' confidence and motivation in work, as well as their trust in their workplace relationships and colleagues, and consider measures to improve engagement.

Health

In order for people to make the most of their capabilities and work with a sense of purpose, the Tokyo Seimitsu Group believes it is important for those people and their families to be physically and mentally healthy. We offer healthy lifestyle support for our employees and their families, and work to create comfortable workplaces by means including strict working hour management to avoid long working hours.

Stress Level Checks

Every year, we perform periodical health checkups, comprehensive medical examinations, gynecological checkups, and other procedures to check the health of employees. For persons with abnormal findings, we encourage repeat examinations and provide specified health guidance. Our examination rate for stress level checks, including employees at overseas posts or stationed outside the company, exceeds 99%. The checks have become established as an opportunity for employees to take note of their own mental condition. We manage individual stress level check results in accordance with laws and regulations and provide feedback to the individuals. Individuals with high stress levels meet with industrial physicians. We also conduct organizational analyses and, after reporting to the Risk Compliance Committee and the Safety and Health Committee, work to improve the workplace environment.

Health promotion

We implement a number of measures to help employees stay healthy both mentally and physically in cooperation with our industrial physician. These include interviews to follow up on employees, feedback to the manager of the relevant division, videos on health, and provision of tips on health promotion in the company newsletter.

We issued a "healthy company declaration" to the National Federation of Health Insurance Societies in Tokyo and received a silver certificate of "Excellent Health Company" in August 2020.

Work-life Balance

We are striving to create an environment where all employees can play active roles while balancing work and private life.In order to fully support employees who are raising children, caring for family members, or dealing with illness or injury, the Company has established its own leave system that far exceeds legal standards.
