3. Communicating with Employees

(1) Progressing Corporate Culture

JSR is actively working on reshaping its corporate culture based on the principles of freedom and discipline. By promoting inter-personal communication and encouraging managers to provide their subordinates with more opportunities for independence, the Course of Action's 4Cs "Cultivation" principle works to help managers and subordinates develop together as individuals as well as members of productive, supportive teams. In line with these efforts, JSR is enhancing its On the Job Training (OJT) program by holding OJT preparedness courses and communicating the fundamentals of OJT. JSR is also engaged in group-wide communication initiatives via formal and informal workplace gatherings.
JSR also introduced a biannual employee awards program. The "Nice Support Award" recognizes employees who play a significant role behind the scenes in the smooth performance of the organization. The "Nice Try Award" recognizes those who have contributed to fostering a corporate culture in which all employees are bettering able to take on new challenges without fear of failure.

(2) Employee Awareness Survey

Every three years since FY2005, JSR has conducted group wide surveys on employee awareness and satisfaction in regards to the company, workplace, and work itself. By monitoring these levels, we are able to provide employees with the aggregated survey results, and corporate feedback. We also actively use the survey's results when designing and implementing policies. Starting with FY2011, we added questions to better assess our employees awareness and comprehension of JSR's Corporate Mission, Diversity, and Work-life Management and are now using the results to promote these initiatives. Continuing this trend, the next survey will be conducted in FY2017.
