Long-term human-capital investment and stable salary and bonus structures

「Our group considers “management that builds in future potential,” with a constant focus on long-term profits and growth, including employee development, rather than pursuing short-term sales growth, to be its most important management policy. For base salaries and bonuses, we avoid making significant increases or decreases based on the strength or weakness of recent performance, and each year design a payment schedule that provides for continued increases in line with each individual’s pace of growth.」
