Social Responsibility Practicing Human Capital Management

Fundamental Policy for Human Resource Development

To achieve the Sekisui House Group’s global vision, ”Make Home the Happiest Place in the World", Sekisui House formulated the Group’s fundamental policy for human resource development as, “maximize the value of human capital and drive business growth through diversity & inclusion of knowledge and experience, and promotes initiatives for human resource development. SHA, as a member of Sekisui House Group, shares the Group’s fundamental policy for human resource development and works to improve our personnel system to maximize the value of human capital through employee autonomy and alignment of efforts. If employees utilize company resources to independently shape their own career paths while aligning their efforts with the Company’s vision and business strategy, the value will improve.

Securing Talented Personnel

SHA strategically works to recruit and secure great talent in line with changes in the business environment and the organization. In addition, by accepting specialized seconded personnel from the Sekisui House Group who have a wide range of experience and know-how in real estate investment and management, SHA aims to utilize their capabilities to achieve advanced asset management.

Strategy for Developing Human Resources

Being a part of this philosophy as a Sekisui House Group member, SHA supports our employees to think about their own careers and to proactively take on challenges to realize them.

Conducting Career Interviews

SHA conducts career interviews to support self-directed career development. In the career interviews, members regularly communicate with their manager to review their work experiences and gain new insights about themselves. By learning from these insights and actively taking challenges, members are encouraged to improve themselves and realize their career visions. In addition, we have an in-house career consultant and a business coach to support employees with career planning, encourage self-motivation, and help them achieve their goals and solve problems.

Job Rotation System

SHA has introduced a job rotation system that allows employees to move to different positions if they wish, and by creating an environment where they can gain a diverse range of experience, we are working to develop human resources and ensure that they are assigned to the right positions.

Performance Review Process Using Discussions

Regarding the Performance Review which also evaluates the status of ESG initiative and compliance, SHA aims to improve our employee's satisfaction and motivation by operating our interview system and implementing the PDCA cycle(Goal Setting Discussion → Job execution → Interim Discussion → Job execution → Look Back Discussion → Evaluation → Feedback Discussion)on yearly basis.
