Corporate Culture of Encouraging Voluntary Participation
Corporate Culture of Encouraging Voluntary Participation
MARUI GROUP's corporate philosophy calls for us to "continue evolving to better aid our customers" and "equate the development of our people with the development of our company." Based on this philosophy, we have established Groupwide committees and project teams with members recruited through open application. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, 4,359 employees (around 91% of the total number of Group employees) expressed a desire to participate in such forums, where they deepen their understanding of the corporate philosophy through dialogue while examining themes that are important to the Group’s management.
Activities of the Medium-Term Management Visionary Committee
The Medium-Term Management Visionary Committee is a forum for discussing various topics that will be important to the future of Group management. In the past, meetings were primarily focused on explanations of management policies and other such matters. However, topics are now selected that require a medium-term perspective and for which initiatives will be advanced with a timeline of three-to-five years. While this committee was previously only open to members of Group management, from January 2016 any interested employee is able to apply for participation, and meetings have been held almost every month since. Active discussion, via online and physical venues, is conducted among members that are selected from the approximately 1,000 applications received for each meeting. Furthermore, we regularly invite outside lecturers to conduct special lectures.
Lively question-and-answer sessions held after each lecture
