Our goal is to create a positive work environment where all members can balance their work and family life and be more motivated in their work. To achieve our goal, we plan to increase work flexibility for work-family and work-leisure balance, striving to improve employee satisfaction. We will continue to improve each program through employee surveys and impact analysis, and proactively identify and incorporate employee needs for new systems and programs.

In terms of compensation, we operate the Incentive Bonus Scheme, which allows for differentiated compensation based on role and performance, regardless of seniority.

To ensure that employee performance evaluations are objective and based on fair procedures and data, we manage employee performance by conducting self-reviews as well as timely feedback on performance. Along with an absolute evaluation system, we also carry out performance evaluations that are in line with our core values in order to support each other's success and enhance the performance of the entire organization as a whole, as opposed to internal competition, so that employees can pursue our core values right from the beginning of their work and be recognized for their process and efforts in creating results.
