Basic Views
One of the NH Foods Group’s corporate philosophies is for the company to be a place where employees can feel truly happy and fulfilled.
We believe that the ability of employees with diverse values to fully exhibit his or her capabilities leads to Group growth and development and contributes to society. The Group strives to create workplaces that motivate diverse human resources.
Ideal Human Resources Sought
The Group formulated “Ideal Human Resources Sought by the NH Foods Group” in 2013 as a policy and guide to growth for carrying out its corporate philosophies.
We believe that by indicating the ideals that employees should pursue as their objectives and positioning them as clear growth targets, everyone will be able to carry out their work duties while feeling a sense of growth.
The Group places Ideal Human Resources Sought that it seeks at the root of its human resource management systems, and undertakes human resource development for all Group employees.
Overview of human resources strategy
NH Foods Group aims to "maximize corporate value" by pursuing the "increase of social value (non-financial value)" and "increase of business value (financial value)" in order to realize our corporate philosophy. Under our human resources strategy, we will identify a path to linking the abilities of "individual employees" to "corporate value", and focus on fostering an organizational culture focused on new challenge of maximizing human resources. In order to achieve this, we have set "Personal growth," "Organizational growth," and "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I)" as the three initiatives of our human resources policy.

Promotion Systems
The NH Foods Ltd. Human Resources Department plays a central role in collaborating with Group companies.
To promote this, we will conduct quantitative and regular monitoring of the situation and carry out KPI management while implementing a PDCA cycle. In addition to setting common KPIs for all Group companies in Japan, we are also setting personnel measures and KPIs according to the personnel issues of each company, and are working to achieve these goals. Furthermore, overseas group companies have established priority issues to address that take into account the different circumstances in each country.
Future Initiatives
In order for the Group to continue to grow and develop sustainably, we believe it is necessary to foster a corporate culture in which employees can take on challenges, and create a structure in which employees can develop and grow, thereby enhancing their job satisfaction and motivation to work.
In addition, as values diversify and the pace of social change accelerates in the future, various ways of "co-creating" will become necessary. We will promote our measures by enhancing individuals’ strengths, taking on the challenge of "creating value together," both internally and externally, and creating an organization at which each and every one of our diverse employees can play an active role.
