Human Resources Management
Basic Approach
NICHINO Group considers human resources to be its most important management capital and positions them as “human assets.” To achieve sustainable growth, we will set indicators for well-being, diversity, equity & inclusion, development and training, human resource utilization, and improvement of the working environment as part of our human capital management.
Personnel System
The kind of human resources we are looking for are those who can contribute to improving the Group’s business value over the medium- to long-term. We have formulated the “Nichino HC (Human Capital) Values” to represent the type of human resources we are looking for and the knowledge they should possess. We are also reforming our personnel system to enable our human resources to play even more active roles. We will continue to operate the system fairly so that all employees can continue to work with smiles and enthusiasm.
1) Wage system
Nihon Nohyaku has abolished seniority-based systems and lifestyle-related allowances and has instead adopted a wage system that provides a high base salary as compensation for labor.
2) Personnel evaluation system
In our personnel evaluation system, we have set “medium- to long-term challenge themes” to foster a spirit of challenge in all employees. This system makes it easier for employees to take on advanced tasks that go beyond their regular duties. We also have a value evaluation system in place to evaluate the embodiment of desired human resources.
Education and Training
We provide individualized training according to each employee’s level. We also provide support for employees’ self-development through initiatives such as correspondence courses.
Development of Global Human Resources
We are currently formulating a succession plan for core positions within Nihon Nohyaku and its Group companies. To develop global human resources, we second young employees to overseas Group companies, dispatch researchers to overseas research institutes, and dispatch employees from overseas Group companies to Nihon Nohyaku.
