Human Resources Development
Training
MCG Group companies are implementing OFF-JT measures based on the human resource development system shared across the Group.
[Human Resources Development System]

We have introduced optional learning content to provide all employees with opportunities to undertake independent learning at any time of their choosing to help them acquire the skills and knowledge they need for their current jobs and future careers.
Career Development
Internal Job Posting System
We are leveraging our internal job posting system effectively, empowering departments to fill vacant positions while offering individual employees the opportunity to contemplate and pursue their career paths.
Career Support
We encourage employees to view their careers as integral to personal growth and fulfilment. To support this, we offer various opportunities for self-reflection and development ownership, including:
- Ongoing Career Development Events and Seminars: Regularly scheduled sessions to help employees continuously advance their careers.
- Tailored Career Workshops: These workshops, led by external speakers, are designed for specific age groups and guide participants through career assessments and action planning.
- Individual Guidance from Career Supporters: Employees have access to internal "career supporters" who are qualified career consultants or industrial counselors, providing personalized advice and support.
By utilizing both internal and external resources, we ensure comprehensive support for our employees' career progression.
Career Design Interview
Once a year, employees are interviewed by their manager about the direction of their career and steps to be taken for their development outside of daily operations.
This interview allows employees to clarify their vision and growth plans, receiving targeted support from their manager. It also helps managers understand their team members' future aspirations, enabling them to offer more effective day-to-day support.
Management by Objectives
Management by Objectives (MBO)
At Mitsubishi Chemical, we use a job-based personnel system where employees set objectives aligned with their roles. Through regular communication with their managers, employees work toward these goals and receive fair compensation based on an objective evaluation of their achievements.
Specifically, under the Management by Objectives (MBO) system, employees set their own objectives that align with the company's and their department's objectives. They then collaborate with others to achieve these shared goals.◇Setting of objectives | ◇Interim (check-in) review | ◇ End of year review |

Supporting Career Development with 1-on-1 Meetings
In addition to the MBO system, we use 1-on-1 meetings to help employees design their careers and develop their skills based on their individual needs. We believe that regularly encouraging employees to reflect on their careers enables them to embrace challenges, initiate necessary changes, and discover new value through varied experiences.
To ensure the effectiveness of interviews and 1-on-1 meetings for both employees and managers, we provide managers with training on conducting effective interviews. We also conduct regular surveys to gather feedback from employees. These support measures are being implemented company-wide.
