Basic concept
- We believe that the growth of our employees is directly proportional to the growth of our company. That is why we strive to foster a positive and energetic work environment where our employees can grow and succeed. We are actively promoting various efforts to achieve this goal and ensure that our employees feel supported and valued in their work.
Developing a workplace environment that caters to the diversification of working styles.
We recognize that employees have different working styles in today’s world. To that end, we offer various options such as flex work, work from home, telecommuting, and staggered work hours. Our goal is to provide an environment that values work-life balance and enables our employees to flourish. By doing so, we encourage the growth of both our employees and the company.
Creating open workplace that encourages communication.
To ensure that we are continuously improving our workplace environment, we conduct an annual employee satisfaction survey and incorporate our employees' feedback into our practices. We also strive to create an open environment through various initiatives where employees can comfortably share their thoughts and ideas. Some of these initiatives include a mentoring program for new graduate hires, a one-on-one meeting framework, and the installation of suggestion boxes and hotlines.
Portal site
To facilitate effective communication within our organization, we use a company portal site to promptly disseminate information to all our departments and sites. By consolidating information in one central location, we promote in-house communication, which enhances employee motivation and leads to improved work efficiency.Weekly newsletters
We send a weekly email newsletter to all our employees, which includes items such as a message from the president, introductions of new employees, and customer feedback. Our goal is to promote in-house communication by facilitating connections between employees and helping them get to know their colleagues better.Virtual Gatherings
At the start of each year, we hold an in-person and virtual New Year's ceremony to reflect on the previous year, share our goals for the new year, and recognize employee and workplace excellence. Additionally, we hold remote gatherings to kick-off each new period and provide timely updates. These gatherings allow us to convey our business policies periodically across our numerous sites and maintain alignment throughout the organization.Cross-department training
To promote interdepartmental communication and collaboration, we conduct cross-department brainstorming sessions with representatives from manufacturing, back-office, sales, and other departments. Through these meetings, we refine our Code of Conduct and promote employee interest in other departments. This helps to build a network of connections and streamline communication across different parts of the organization.Promoting Diversity
We are committed to promoting diversity in our workplace, and actively support the recruitment of women to management-level positions as well as the employment of foreign nationals. As of March 2021, we have nine women in management-level positions (including two executive officers) and 27 foreign employees from China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Colombia working at Sunsho Pharmaceutical. We believe that promoting diversity increases opportunities for employees to thrive and contributes to the success of our company.
