Talent Development
The Kuraray Group respects values and careers of each individual and provides opportunities to develop the skills and abilities necessary for both employees and the company to grow together. In addition to reaffirming Kuraray's "Philosophy" and enhancing opportunities to share our “Values,” we will systematically expand our "Global Talent Development Program" in parallel with our "English language skill development Program" and "Short-term Global Mobility Program" to enable diverse talents to play active roles globally. We will also strengthen our business operations from a long-term perspective by developing talents capable of taking general managers equivalent positions through "Executive Candidate Development Program", and by building a talent pool.
In addition, a new DX Talent Development Program was launched in 2023 with targets set for participation in classes according to three levels of digital literacy (Gold, Silver, and Bronze). All employees will take the Bronze class, and at least one in each department (a person who can plan and promote DX) will be trained at Gold class.
Moreover, we provide training on Diversity and Inclusion by job level with content appropriate to the job description. In order to reflect the idea of diversity and inclusion in our organizational management, Inclusive Leadership Training was conducted for all executive members and divisional general managers, including members from overseas in 2024. In the training, participants formulate and implement their own plans for behavioral change.
In 2025, we will broaden the scope of the training to include senior managers globally, with the aim of providing them with the awareness and methods necessary to lead their organizations. In addition, we will deliver a video which consists of interviews with diverse employees and a message from the president to all Kuraray group employees to deepen their understanding of diversity and inclusion.
