Maintaining Employment and Ensuring Stable Business Continuity During the Pandemic

「On the institutional front, the Group is developing a framework in which employees can work with a sense of purpose. As part of this effort, it provides a certain level of salary protection during periods of leave while awaiting assignment and promotes the acquisition of new advanced skills by expanding facilities such as technical centers that develop highly skilled personnel, thereby fostering awareness of autonomous growth and working to further improve employee retention.」

「To protect its “human resources,” the source of its growth, the Group regarded retaining the employment of all employees as its highest priority and took measures on both the financial and institutional fronts so that employees could continue working with peace of mind. Financially, the Group increased its cash on hand by obtaining some borrowings from financial institutions and adjusted its finances to enable more agile operations. Institutionally, it established a crisis management framework capable of ensuring stable business continuity even during disasters by providing a certain level of salary protection during periods of leave while awaiting assignment and actively promoting telework in administrative departments.」
