Under its corporate motto of “RAKU-GYOU-KAI-ETSU,” the Kewpie Group encourages the individual growth of each of its employees in their daily activities and also supports their career development through training and self-development programs.

The Kewpie Group has introduced an appraisal system that achieves both the execution of the Group’s management strategies and the further growth of the individual. While emphasizing the value of daily process, we will reinforce the following three points.

Putting into practice actions that will lead to results that are true to the Kewpie Group through Group cooperation, with this appraisal system that emphasizes process as the pivotal axis, will lead to the growth of each individual employee.

At Kewpie, as a way to create a culture of active challenge and learning and to assist our employees in their career development, we have established a variety of award schemes, including the Qualifications Award. We periodically review the types of qualifications and accreditations that are eligible for the Qualifications Award.

In the Kewpie Group, in addition to encouraging individual growth by enhancing our specialist training and self-development programs, we support our employees in realizing their own careers with the Career Self-Declaration Scheme. In this scheme, employees share with the company and their supervisors their hopes and dreams for their work and the path they hope to follow. Our human resources development programs, such as the Corporate Philosophy Training program, are available to all Group employees, including part-time and contract employees.
