Society

Since its establishment, the Fuji Seal Group has focused on the belief that the growth of employees leads to the development of its business and industry, recognizing employees as one of its most important assets. Under its slogan, it helps to foster the creativity of employees.

The Fuji Seal Group will not discriminate against any employee for promotion and training or applicant for employment because of their race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, sexual orientation/gender identity, disability, or other factors that are unrelated to the legitimate business interests of FSG.

FSG will aim to be a "diversity management" that utilizes diverse human resources and provides opportunities for employees to maximize their abilities. FSG will maintain and improve the personnel system and work conditions which fully realized employees’ originality and diversity. FSG will conduct objective and fair evaluations based on results and performance and cultivate human resources with high expertise and creativity.

Suggestion System (KAIZEN TEIAN)

Fuji Seal implements the Suggestion System (KAIZEN TEIAN), through which a wide range of ideas are collected from employees to commend excellent ideas. These ideas include improvements to daily operations, measures to improve the work environment, and inspirations for new products. This system was established to reflect our expecta-tion that more employees will continue to strive to achieve greater creativity in their work, while always trying to identify problems without being satisfied with the present situation, and taking action independently to resolve them as well as committing themselves to daily operations.

Although the year 2020 marks the 35th anniversary of the system, the number of suggestions from employees has been increasing yearly. In FY2019, approximately 6,000 sugges-tions were submitted by employees, the number of which exceeded the total number of employees.

Since 2018, the intellectual property division has joined in the operation of the system, with the aim of reforming the system so that excellent ideas will lead directly to the develop-ment of Fuji Seal's business. In the newly reformed system, ideas suggested by employees are rolled out to various other divisions, and ideas related to patent applications and know-how management are examined, protected, and used on a company-wide basis as intellectual property that contrib-utes to the company's business.

The Suggestion System will continue to evolve as a system that encourages employees to make courageous and creative suggestions, a system through which individual employees can change the company with their ideas and develop the company with their action.

Length-of-service awards

We annually hold an award ceremony for long-serving employees, targeting employees who have been working for the company for 10, 15, and 20 consecutive years, on May 12, the company's anniversary.
The award ceremony is held during the company's founding anniversary event (Family Festival) held in May. In the ceremo-ny, the relevant employees are recognized for their long-stand-ing contributions to the growth of the Fuji Seal Group in front of their family members and colleagues. The length-of-service award ceremony, which is one of the events with a long history, provides an important opportunity for us to appreciate their contribution to the company and convey our expecta-tions for their future performance.

Since the time of our founding, when we had only a few employees, we have recognized the contributions of employ-ees and the family members who support them by giving a signed birthday cards as well as other gifts such as birthday cakes. In FY2019, we gave employees and their family members in Japan and overseas a birthday card with a message written by the President herself to deliver her dream and what the company aims to be. A book card was also enclosed with the birthday card to reinforce our belief in the importance of self-education.

In each business region, an executive officer is responsible for safety, health, and accident prevention, and, at each company and factory, a Safety, Health and Accident Prevention Committee is established. In addition, information on minor incidents on-site is shared among the Group in order to take preventive measures.
We have also built a system in which, in the case of a labor accident and a fire, similar potential sites are promptly checked in all business regions and preventive measures are rolled out. We enhance our efforts to learn from past failures and to accumulate and standardize know-how about preventing accidents. We also take thorough measures to share information between the COO (Chief Operating Officer), who is responsible for overseeing safety, health, and accident prevention within the Fuji Seal Group, and the staff in each business region and each business segment and, in particular, to comply with laws, regulations, and internal rules, including auditing BCP.

Imitative risk experience facilities are installed at factories in Japan, where subjects can actually experience the risk of being involved in a labor accident. These facilities are set up so that employees can experience potential risks in the workplace to learn the importance of safety physically and mentally, thereby improving their ability to prevent labor accidents from occurring and foresee potential risks.
Employees experience these imitative risks when joining the company as well as on a regular basis to raise their safety awareness.
