Inappropriate investment in facilities and human resources has weakened the base for the Company’s competitiveness. The challenge is to maintain and improve technical capabilities, and improvements in securing, developing, and training human resources are required. The Company’s facilities are supported by its human resources, but there is concern over loss of human resources with young people leaving the Company. Our cooperative companies’ construction capabilities have diminished, making it difficult for them to promptly respond to disasters and perform unplanned works. The unfavorable effects of the performance-based wage system have come to light, and employees show a lower sense of fulfillment and motivation. As a result of misappropriation of business including the incident of receiving cash and gifts by executives, the Company has significantly degraded the ethics of employees, and the effectiveness of management reform is called into question. Moreover, the Company promotes reemployment of workers, but their wages will drop extremely after the reemployment, causing an inequality in their treatment. While manpower is declining, workload has not changed. Inappropriate rationalization has prevented cases of mental illnesses from decreasing, and discriminatory treatment against people with disabilities remains. If the Company does not improve these situations, it will lose excellent human resources while hindering business execution and services, and struggle to gain public trust.
