Basic Human Resources Policy
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.
Additionally, based on the “One Company, One Team” structure, the Mitsubishi Chemical Group (the MCG Group) will work as a whole to promote human resources initiatives.
Comprehensive management system for human resources
Basic approach
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.

Human Resources Development
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, 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.
Four frameworks for managing human resources
- Employment of diverse human resources
- On-the-job/Off-the-job training through management by objectives (MBO)
- Transfers and rotations
- Fair evaluations
Human resources development system
In fiscal 2022, working from the “One Company, One Team” system, we formulated a common development system for the MCG Group. From fiscal 2023 onwards we will implement Off-the-job training measures based on this development system.
In fiscal 2022 each person received an average of 1.9 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.
Career Development Support Measures
We offer career-focused interviews with superiors and subordinates, career design training, a range of information to consider regarding careers, and opportunities for individual consultation, all intended to provide opportunities for every employee to realize how important it is to consider their own careers, and to think proactively about it.
- Implement ongoing training in a style that allows employees to participate flexibly in a manner that suits their lifestyles and stage of life.
- Implement distance learning and business skills training (online) with businesses in other industries to broaden trainees’ perspectives and instill self-motivated learning habits.
- Provide career counseling for some levels for all participants to provide better awareness of career opportunities in training.
- Hold career fairs to provide lectures and information to improve employees’ awareness of the need for independent career development.
Development of global human resources
- We continuously develop global human resources with our career challenge system that enables transferring to a wide range of work assignments including those overseas.
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.
Development of DX-Capable Human Resources
We have set up DX (smart human resources) 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.
DX training is positioned as a major theme for the whole MCG Group, and based on the new DX 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.
Next-generation leader development
- Instituting training programs for a next generation of leaders
Working from the “One Company, One Team,” philosophy, we have set up two programs for developing management resources: The “Top Leader’s College” intended to develop the next generation of managerial executives as a common program throughout the MCG Group in place of the previous “MT-VIVID” management development program, and the “Future Leader’s College” aimed at the team leader class who will be candidates for the “Top Leader’s College.” Through these programs, we hope to develop a diverse management team capable of achieving victories who are able to anticipate changes in society, drive change and transformation, and relate their vision for the society of tomorrow.
