Right now, we have foreign workers from seven different countries working in our plant. In order to build a diverse group of foreign workers, we focus on D&I* (Diversity and Inclusion) training. After the recruitment process, in addition to doing safety and hygiene training, we make it clear that we do not accept bullying or discrimination based on skin color or nationality. We provide daily support for specified skilled workers through Japanese classes, calligraphy, and other activities. We also provide COVID-19 vaccinations in the workplace. The vaccinations were received especially well. They were able to take them without worries after we helped them fill out the medical questionnaires. Recently, people who want to work as a specified skilled worker have been posting information on the Internet or exchanging information with others on social media, and there have been more people discovering and applying for our company. We think we have created a virtuous cycle by creating an environment that is easy for foreign people to work in, thereby attracting even more ambitious workers.
Foreign specified skilled workers work, gain knowledge from Japanese manufacturing industries, and build up skills and funds to fulfill their dreams. They contribute to our company by being excellent staff. We believe that the specified skilled worker system provides benefits by building this win-win relationship. Moving forward, we want to provide as much support as we can to help them fulfill their dreams.
*D&I (Diversity and Inclusion): To enable various workers to accept one another and maximize their own potential regardless of age, gender, nationality, academic background, characteristics, interests, or religion (source: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare)
