Human Resource Development System

The Chiyoda Group has the human resource development system to strengthen organization and management skills and to support individual professionalization.
In order to realize a workplace where employees can fully demonstrate their abilities, we set up Holidays or Leaves support system.
Further, for employee’s self-development activities, there is a system for supporting the employees to acquire qualifications recommended for their duties.
