Recognition from Hearing
Points and the necessary support for initiatives that lead to the improvement of sustainability of SMEs with close ties to the community
With a policy for human resource development, such as flexible working styles, hiring standards, human resource development through learning, and visualization of career steps, and clearly demonstrating that human resource development applies to society not only promotes Torikai Corporation’s CSR, but also appeals to job seekers, and has a positive effect on hiring, which many SMEs consider as an issue. Various ideas are also elaborated on the website on mid-career recruitment, such as posting messages to job seekers’ families.
