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 to educate next-generation leaders at the Group and a one-year international training program at ODC to foster global human resources.
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 2022: 693.)
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.

FOCUS

Career enhancement training (for female employees) conducted since FY 2022

キャリアアップ研修

Since fiscal 2022 we have held new career development training sessions designed for female employees who have worked for the Group for ten or more years. The training is part of our human resource development for future management candidates, and is also an opportunity for individual career development. Through the training, participants consider the unique characteristics women possess and the career challenges they face.
With a renewed outlook on their current work and life, they see themselves in a more positive light, fostering their drive for career development.

At the Installation Training Center over 1,000 people are actively improving their skills and product developers and installation technicians with exceptional abilities give lectures including "freshman installation technicians training" and "product installation qualification training" that grants installation qualification based on 19 categories and 105 kinds of products. We also endeavor to develop installation technicians with the capability to install various kinds of products.
