Our approach to human resource development
Based on the belief that the growth of each and every employee serves as the source of sustainable corporate growth, we proactively support employee growth to foster the talent that drives value creation.
Basic policy and culture of human resource development
Our culture is rooted in cultivating employees based on the “principle of prioritizing human resource development.” We put it into practice in our everyday work as well as in our training programs according to two “musts”: “Employee development must be a top priority,” and “One must place training over work when the opportunity arises.”
Basic policy on human resource development
- The Company provides employees with diverse opportunities for challenges and growth and supports individual development and constructive endeavors
- Employees further hone their strengths and expertise to take on even loftier goals
- Employees grow into autonomous human resources with initiative and individuality, who are able to think and act independently

Three elements for developing competency × values
Employees are expected to continuously hone the three competencies of execution, expertise, and interpersonal skills as well as to embody the values that serve as the foundation for conduct within the Group. They must strive for even loftier goals in their actions—a concept also reflected within the personnel management system.
Three core systems built into our personnel system
As a mechanism to achieve sustainable growth for both individual employees and corporate value, we have built three core systems within the New Value Up Personnel System.
Human resource development initiatives
Our systematic human resource development, which includes not only on-the-job training but also job-level-specific training, foundational training, and training for specific purposes, helps boost capabilities and literacy as well as enhances knowledge among all of our employees.
Training framework
Developing global human resources
Aiming to make the leap to becoming a global top provider of oils and fats solutions, we have established the Global Human Resources Registration System for employees who wish to play an active role on the global stage. Employees voluntarily apply to register as candidates to drive global business initiatives. The system is used not only to assign employees to global positions but also to provide training programs tailored to registrants’ international experience and language ability.
Building a foundation for promoting digital strategies
We provide training for all Company employees to improve their digital knowledge and skills and foster a mindset conducive to promoting the use of digital technology. In FY2023, we offered courses on a wide range of topics from basic understanding of the digital transformation to advanced digital skills, analytical skills, and thinking skills to meet diverse learning needs, improving digital literacy through 20 to 30 hours of e-learning courses over roughly 18 months. We will also provide specialized training to selected employees who will be the driving force behind promoting the use of digital technology in the future.
Strengthening supervisor management skills
We provide training for managers in charge of organizational management to enhance their ability to draw out the individuality and initiative of employees under their supervision, and to improve their skills in supporting career development.
NLF (Nisshin Life Fund) System
We offer comprehensive options such as subsidies for various training courses, correspondence education, language schools, and qualification acquisition as a mechanism to support employee skill development, encouraging proactive self-development.
