Human Resource Development

Sanwa Shutter Corporation introduced a new training system called the “Sanwa Professional Human Resources Training Plan.” Through job rotations over the course of two years, this system provides new college graduates who entered the company in fiscal 2019 with the opportunity to learn about the Company’s core operations of sales, installation, factory work, and design. The goal of this system is to ensure closer cooperation between production, sales, and engineering, as well as to train human resources that can make decisions through a comprehensive, optimized field of view.
We conduct ”training by managerial level” and ”training by subject” purpose-specific training. This training by managerial level includes rank-based training, such as follow-up training for employees in their second/third years, for mid-career new employees, and for newly appointed managers. In addition as part of the training by subject, we offer the Sanwa Management Training School for developing executives of the Sanwa Group and a one-year international training program at ODC to foster global human resources. To maximize individual performance even in a highly uncertain business environment, we have started the "Training to strengthen management skills for managers" and "Next-generation leader training" from FY 2022. From FY 2023, we launched the "Career enhancement training" aimed at further empowering experienced employees in their 40s and 50s, as well as e-learning to enhance employees' IT literacy.
The e-learning program covers a wide range of topics, including the necessity of digital utilization, IT ethics, security literacy, data collection and utilization skills, and basic knowledge of DX (Digital Transformation).
The completion rate for the e-learning course on security literacy conducted for all employees of the Sanwa Group between June and October 2024 was 94.3%.
We also provide correspondence courses and have a program in place that defrays the cost of tuitions for eligible courses. Many employees use these courses to improve their foreign language skills or to obtain public certifications. (The number of employees taking correspondence courses in fiscal 2023: 713.)
As a part of human resource exchange, 20 employees were sent to ODC, NF group, and Asian subsidiaries from Japan. This exchange fosters a sense of solidarity within the Group by disseminating the Sanwa Group's vision and strategy and by coordinating with overseas employees. In addition, we have introduced an employee stock ownership plan with the aim of fostering a sense of participation in management among domestic employees.
