Reason for award: Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd. is focusing on creating a “strong and kind company” where each employee can work freely and with fulfillment while maintaining a high level of competitiveness in global competition, and this attitude is very impressive. is. The company has introduced a “Career Ownership System” to balance corporate and personal growth, and is fostering an autonomous culture in which employees think about and act on their own careers. Through systems such as Job Description (JD), we have systems in place to encourage individuals to understand the position they are aiming for and the skills required to achieve it, and to encourage them to take on the challenge of reaching a higher position through self-study through training. In addition, we have adopted initiatives such as watching video discussions with external experts to instill a proactive awareness of career development among all employees, and the survey after viewing the video received responses from over 10,000 employees, resulting in a high level of success. I can see your interest. We are also actively disseminating information on SNS, and as a result, the number of new graduate internship applicants has increased dramatically by 223% compared to the previous year, and the number of mid-career applicants has increased by 130% compared to the previous year. By supporting an environment where employees can work energetically, the company’s attitude of both increasing corporate value and contributing to society is a true example of a white company, and we highly rate it as deserving of this award. It is also worth noting that by creating this environment, we are contributing to our customers and local communities with reliable technology and knowledge.

Reason for award: Global Partners Co., Ltd. was selected for this award because it was highly evaluated for contributing to society by developing the business skills of young people through its “Wakamono Support Project” and “Venture Support Project.” Ta. The first reason is that the company is actively working to develop young people and prevent them from leaving the workforce. Global Partners Co., Ltd. provides an environment where employees can develop themselves and has an open and fair compensation system. In addition, in conjunction with the compensation system, we are actively promoting internal public relations by distributing information such as success stories and examples of how the system is utilized, by distributing internal interviews online, and by using internal bulletin boards and internal SNS. We have put in place a system that can directly contribute to success, and we have achieved results that have halved the turnover rate between September 2023 and September 2024, which is an impressive track record. Next, support for client companies’ overseas expansion and efforts to improve international competitiveness through the company’s “global business” can be said to be a major factor in increasing corporate value through sampo yoshi. We were very interested in these initiatives as our company aims to expand its global business in the future. I have high hopes that he will continue to achieve further results in youth development and global support, and to contribute to the development of companies and society. “Sampo Yoshi’s Corporate Management Department” Introducing the special judges
