People-the Source of Our Dynamism

“People are a company's asset.” At Takefuji, where “personnel” are called “human resources,” we focus on education and creating a working environment that is comfortable.

 Recognizing that compliance is our top priority, it is absolutely essential that we hire people who will conscientiously follow accepted social standards of behavior, abide by the regulations of and closely follow our internal management manual. Takefuji actively recruits mid-career personnel (including managers) to enrich the quality of its human resources. Employing people with disabilities is also a major pillar of our recruitment policy.

 To heighten motivation of employees and make full use of their abilities, we employ a merit-based promotion system free from bias related to age or gender. And we address training female block managers and block manager candidates who are trained to become managers. As of March 31, 2010, female managers included an executive officer, 4 block managers (25.0% of total) and 37 branch office managers (22.1% of total). We are proud of all our managers, who work hard every day and respond with meticulous care, great warmth and sensitivity to customer needs.

 Founded on the principle of “Customer First” and a “Spirit of Gratitude,” Takefuji has strengthened its employee education.
 The new employee training is primarily focused on the mission of consumer finance, ethical standards as a full contributing member of society and the basics of customer service. On-the-job training at branch offices teaches employees how to carry out their work smoothly and properly while educating them about the relationship of business to law.
 Management training conducted at the head office covers courses for current and aspiring branch office and block managers and candidates for the posts of branch office/block managers. The purpose of these trainings is to teach them to fully understand our compliancebased management policy, to abide by the law as managers, instruct their staff in the importance of compliance, raise staff motivation, and allow them to demonstrate their capabilities to the fullest.

 Health Management

In cooperation with the Takefuji Health Insurance Association, employees can take advantage of regularly scheduled health examinations, including complete medical checkups and examinations for lifestyle-related diseases. In addition, Takefuji pursues proactive policies for disease prevention and early detection, including physical and mental health counseling by industrial physicians and counseling at specialized institutions, as well as vaccinations for influenza. Furthermore, Takefuji has established a headquarter to ensure the safety (health) of employees when there is an outbreak of new influenza strains, and it has instituted an action program for infection control and outbreak containment.

Childcare and Family Care Leave System

Takefuji strongly believes that maintaining a work-life balance is important for its employees' welfare and therefore supports childcare and family care leave. Currently, 100% of new mothers at Takefuji have taken advantage of childcare leave. We are striving to create a work environment that encourages employees to take paternity leave as well. We aim to enhance childcare support even further, by offering longer childcare leave, time off for taking care of children, and expanding the scope of our shortened workday system. We listen to our employees' opinions on family care leave and are working hard to create a framework that satisfies both employees and their families.

 We will flexibly apply existing labor regulations in order to assure that employees chosen to be lay judges can fulfill their responsibilities.
