Human capital strategy

Basic approach

Idemitsu Kosan's human resources strategy is based on the basic values of allowing diverse human resources to demonstrate their individuality and grow through work, and in order to realize Vision for 2050, ''No matter what the future brings,'' We are developing measures to become a flexible, robust human resources group that carves a path to the future. Our approach to realizing Vision for 2050 will be based on the perspectives of ''creating an Open, Flat, Agile (OFA) culture'' and ''individual growth,'' and we will also focus on three key themes: ''Empathy with Management Philosophy and vision,'' and We are developing various measures that are linked to our goals of deepening DE&I and demonstrating our abilities and individuality. In order to measure the growth and motivation of employees, we will confirm the effectiveness of the measures we have implemented using the Idemitsu Engagement Index, which we introduced to improve employee engagement.

Initiatives

Sympathy for Management Philosophy and vision

Management Philosophy

For our company, our Management Philosophy indicates "why this company exists." Management Philosophy is universal and always visible like a north star.For employees, it is a reference point when they are having trouble making a decision, and it is something that they always aspire to be.

Specific initiatives to spread Management Philosophy

Specific initiatives to spread Management Philosophy

In order to deepen our understanding of Management Philosophy and put it into practice, we value each employee's self-questioning. Each employee can gain new insights by comparing their work with society and the meaning of their work, asking themselves questions, and sharing their own understanding through dialogue with other employees. We believe that this will be a good opportunity to learn from these experiences, organize your thoughts, and deepen your understanding.
We are implementing the following measures to deepen the understanding of each employee, including the "Three Dialogues," in which we engage in dialogue on the theme of Management Philosophy.

  • Provide opportunities for people to ask themselves questions and deepen their understanding of Management Philosophy through three types of dialogue: training, roundtable discussions, and dialogue with superiors.

  • Explaining the thoughts behind Management Philosophy using internal portal site videos, group newsletter idemitsu, and internal signage.

  • Interviews with directors and Manager, and various information regarding Management Philosophy are posted on the in-house portal site

  • Conducted an awareness survey targeting employees (July 2021, February 2022, November 2022) to understand the current state of understanding.

  • Translated Management Philosophy into English and Chinese and distributed it to all group companies.

  • Do you know the Idemitsu Group's Management Philosophy of "Truly inspired"?



    This time (November 2022), in a Management Philosophy awareness/empathy survey conducted for employees, 99.6% answered that they were aware of Management Philosophy, and 69.4% responded that they fully understood it.
    The results of our efforts are evident, with an average level of empathy of 6.9 on a 10-point scale.
