The Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Group is working to further enhance its competitiveness by focusing on its people as a management resource and giving its diverse range of individual employees an opportunity to demonstrate their full potential. To further enhance its competitiveness and achieve sustained growth, the Company operates the Comprehensive Management System for Human Resources. The Mitsubishi Chemical Group (the MCG Group) will work as a whole to promote human resources initiatives.

This system is a tool for the achievement of management objectives, and the Company thinks it is important to link the system to objective management, evaluation, treatment, training, and utilization.

To strengthen our corporate vitality and competitiveness, we must work to enhance the capabilities of our human resources, who are the source of that vitality and competitiveness. The Group supports employees so that they can develop and exercise their capabilities through the smooth coordination of the four frameworks listed below. As well as daily on-the-job training (OJT), we provide opportunities for each person to learn and grow on their own initiative and enhance their abilities. In addition to these initiatives, through the assignment of the right person to the right place, we strive to maximize each person’s ability.

We formulated a common development system for the MCG Group in fiscal 2022 and now conduct a range of training measures based on this.
This human resource development system comprises human resources development programs conducted away from the workplace and a variety of self-study programs to facilitate autonomous study based on a diverse range of needs.
These programs support and strengthen the processes through which employees identify issues in their daily work and learn and grow through solving them. We assist each person in developing their own career, gathering a diverse range of values and outlooks together with a high level of expertise, and help employees to develop and demonstrate these capabilities through their own leadership.

In fiscal 2023, each person received an average of 3.6 hours of in-house training.

We are working to train a global base of human resources and the next generation of leaders who will manage the organization in future, and to support employees in developing their own careers.

The MCG Group offers the following five initiatives as opportunities for each employee to realize how important it is to consider their own careers, and to think and learn proactively about it.

By operating a “Career Challenge System” that allows employees to transfer to a wider range of positions, including overseas, on their own initiative, and offering job rotation to globally related businesses in Japan and overseas, we are continuing to develop human resources with a global outlook, cross-cultural capabilities and communication skills.

We have set up training programs intended to develop more “smart human resources” capable of working in a more effective, efficient manner, using digital technologies and business models to achieve a variety of transformations in domains ranging from improvements to everyday operations to business, and value creation.
This training is positioned as a major theme for the whole MCG Group, and based on human resource development system under “One Company, One Team,” the Human Resources Division and the Digital Department will cooperate to implement programs at a variety of levels aimed at new employees, management, and all employees.

We have set up and operate a global human resources development program as a system to define human resources requirements for future management leaders and provide ongoing development of potential candidates. To define individual human resources requirements for each position, we have strengthened our human resources pipeline through the continuous operation of a future manager development plan for key positions.
