Functional Organization of Our Personnel System
Our personnel system takes on the task of developing human resources — an incredibly important part of the running of our company. The system is divided into four separate subsystems: the Job Duty System, the Development Interview System, the Personnel Evaluation System, and the Wage System. These four systems organically connect with one another, in order to help develop the skills of each and every employee.

Education and Training Systems
Scroll horizontally
Employees who are hired upon graduation take part in a month and a half of training at Tosoh Ceramics and Group companies, and other training outside the company. New employees then undergo training in various departments to determine their aptitudes before their roles are officially decided. Following that, new employees go through one to three months of on-the-job training at their new assignments.
Mid-career employees also undergo one to three months of on-the-job training in their new departments, and take part in training at Tosoh Ceramics and Group companies, as well as other training outside the company.
We support personal development as a way for employees to improve their skills and other strengths.
Ability ImprovementsEmployees can opt to take part in training outside the company, and the company will pay for the full cost of training.
Correspondence CoursesEmployees who complete correspondence courses receive financial support equivalent to half of the tuition costs.
Qualification SupportEmployees who acquire qualifications receive a reward payment from the company.
• Support is limited to programs recognized by the company.
As a member of the Tosoh Group, Tosoh Ceramics holds educational sessions for all employees at least once per year, on corporate social responsibility, compliance, and human rights.
