Through these efforts, we aim to raise the level of the entire organization's training system by not only providing support tailored to individual needs, but also improving the training skills of the trainers themselves. In addition, we conduct engagement surveys three times a year to visualize employee awareness and the state of the organization, quickly identify changes in employees, identify management issues, and introduce measures that lead to new systems and improvements in the work environment, with the aim of increasing employee productivity and creativity and improving the performance of the entire organization. We aim to improve the overall performance of the organization.
