「To maintain and enhance the competitiveness of our Group, we must continue to recruit and secure a stable supply of personnel needed for product development, manufacturing and other operations. In addition to planned recruitment of new graduates and experienced personnel, we are working to create a comfortable workplace and retain talent under our basic policy that “safety and health take priority over everything.” In April 2023, we also established NKKソリューションズ株式会社 through a company split and built an organizational structure capable of flexibly adapting to future changes in the external environment, including labor shortages. However, if securing highly skilled personnel becomes difficult due to a decline in the working-age population resulting from Japan’s declining birthrate and aging population, this may affect the business development of our Group and other operations.」
