Securing and Developing Outstanding Talent and Strengthening Recruitment and Training Systems

「The securing of personnel is also progressing smoothly.」

「The Company is also making steady progress in securing personnel. It will continue expanding its business formats while strengthening its customer base.」

「The Group considers people to be the source of its competitiveness, and investment in human capital to be its most important management foundation supporting sustainable growth. In particular, it regards external changes such as labor shortages resulting from the declining birth rate and aging population and the dramatic evolution of technology, including generative AI, as opportunities. Developing and securing personnel with both advanced expertise and flexible thinking is an urgent priority.」

「In addition to fundamentally strengthening our recruitment strategy, we will promote appropriate personnel placement that brings out each individual's capabilities to the fullest and build systems to support autonomous career development, while creating a workplace environment in which employees can maintain high performance over the long term.」

「The Company operates its core business in the golf industry, which attracts relatively little interest among young people, and has struggled to secure younger personnel. However, the need for energetic and talented people is becoming increasingly critical as the Company expands its business areas. The Company believes that talented personnel capable of building and executing an excellent business model will form the foundation for sustainable growth and for becoming a company with social significance. It will therefore focus on securing and developing personnel and work to enhance corporate value.」

「Securing talented personnel has long been recognized as an issue. While continuing efforts to raise awareness of the Group, the Company will actively pursue recruitment. It will also strengthen training systems for next-generation management executives in order to sustain the Group's growth.」

「To accommodate increases in the number of participating golf courses and members, we reorganized our internal structure and increased staffing, thereby strengthening our support system.」

「To this end, the Company will strengthen its recruitment staff and conduct strategic recruitment activities. It will also further improve the quality of its employees by redesigning its training system after they join the Company.」
