Promotion Framework
The Personnel and General Affairs Division plans and promotes cross-company personnel-related policies. They are moving forward to train, in particular, the talent that will support the expansion of global business as well as the strengthening of management. Every year, primarily the Personnel Department drafts the annual plans for stratified training modules where only eligible employees from new hires to executives can learn the requisite knowledge and skills. Each type of training module is given with teachers invited from both inside and outside of the company according to the module content.
Action
Personnel
To facilitate effective human resource development, Daifuku formulated human resource policies and implemented systematic, focused training programs based on these policies across the Group. In addition to position-specific training for new hires, mid-career employees, and managers, we also conduct training for a selected number of highly experienced employees. Moreover, we not only encourage employees in Japan to take the TOEIC English proficiency exam, but we also provide systems, such as a Global Business Trainee Program, to foster global talent and a workforce capable of engaging in global business.

We refrained from implementing this program due to the pandemic.
Handing down techniques and skills
For the 2020 skills certification system, only the first semester welding test will be held due to the pandemic, and the number of certified employees will increase by only 7 from the number of certified employees in 2020, to 548 as of March 2021. In fiscal 2021, we are ensuring that COVID-19 infection prevention measures are taken and testing is be staggered, and we are operating a technical skills certification system to maintain and improve the techniques and skills necessary for production.
