Human Resource Development and Assessment
For the domestic Kuraray Group companies, we have established a companywide training scheme to support acquisition of the knowledge and skills required for jobs and career-building efforts by employees themselves.
The training is open not only to regular employees but also part-time and contract-based ones, as necessary. In addition, Kuraray plants and group companies plan and implement their own training programs and provide their employees with finely-tuned support for skill development and career-building.
Kuraray also has an incentive system under which it furnishes grants for acquisition of certain public qualifications by employees for their own self-improvement.

Global HR Development Program
Kuraray instituted its Global Human Resources Development Program in fiscal 2007. The program offers equal opportunities for skill development to our diverse pool of human resources, regardless of company and nationality. In fiscal 2008, it drew the participation of 58 employees from various countries.
Thirty of the 58 employees attended the Global Team Training, a program for selected employees aimed at the sharing of Kuraray’s management DNA.

A Fair, Impartial, and Transparent HR System
Kuraray has instated a personnel system in which elements such as improvement of job execution capabilities, business results, and spirit to challenge demanding roles (as opposed to seniority and personal factors) are reflected in remuneration.
In fiscal 2008, we made a transition to an arrangement of role ranks for management positions. Under it, remuneration slides with the rank, regardless of age and qualifications. In April 2009, we shifted to a system enabling ordinary employees to change development courses to suit their desired career path and to a wage scheme that better reflects the degree of growth in skills and yearly business results.
In the aspect of personnel evaluation, we instated a scheme of target-based management in which actual employee performance is rated with reference to targets for duties and skill development set through consultation with their superiors. We also provide ongoing training for personnel making the evaluations.
