Start of "once-a-week secondment program" with Nagato Yumoto Onsen Machi Co., Ltd. - Contribute to regional revitalization by demonstrating employees' abilities and individuality -
Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shunichi Kito; hereinafter, "the Company") NagatoYumoto Starting in October, we will be fully launching a "Weekly Secondment Program" in which our employees will be seconded one day a week to Nagato Yumoto Onsenmachi Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture; CEO: Ito Shuichi), a company that is working to develop sustainable tourism in hot spring areas.
This initiative aims to utilize the experience and skills of the seconded employees to contribute to solving problems and improving operations in the Nagato Yumoto Onsen area. In addition, the aim is for employees to feel a sense of engagement and growth by working with a variety of people in an environment different from their usual work environment, and for them to have an opportunity to think about their future life careers.
We conducted a trial for six months from April to September of this year, and decided to fully launch the program after determining that the experience and skills that our employees have cultivated would lead to contributions to the local community and would also lead to new working styles that make use of our employees' careers.
当社は、人財戦略を経営戦略の根幹に据え（中期経営計画（対象年度：2023～2025年度 ）において）、従業員の「能力・個性の発揮」に取り組んでいます。「能力・個性の発揮」には、社員が通常の業務では体験することが難しい事柄の体験機会を得ることができる「他流試合」「越境学習」の場を提供することが有効だと考えており、今回の取り組みもその1つです。
Going forward, we will continue to provide various opportunities for "interdisciplinary competition" and "cross-boundary learning" in order to encourage our employees to "demonstrate their abilities and individuality."
