(2) System supporting employees taking on challenges
The Company believes in the importance of management where employees are given a stage to demonstrate their abilities. A related initiative is the Company's introduction of an intra-Group job posting system providing opportunities for employees who are willing to take on new challenges to leap forward.
Support for employees transferring to the Company or Group company is provided to regular employees who at the time of the transfer will have served the Company for two years or longer since their last transfer or since they were hired by the Company.
