Creating a rewarding workplace

We regard human resources as our main business assets, and believe creating a fair and comfortable workplace is essential for employees to maximize their individuality and abilities. We are also working to enhance our HR and welfare programs to enable employees to have a productive life in the TechnoPro Group.

The TechnoPro Group Health Management Declaration

The TechnoPro Group believes that employee health is an important business resource and the source of corporate vitality. Based on this belief, we declare our commitment to health promotion initiatives.

We believe that employee quality of life is what leads to true ongoing value for our customers and is what makes corporate value growth possible.

We engage in health management as the foundation for contributing to future abundance, serving as a corporate group that grows sustainably together with society.

Basic Policy on Health Management

1. We take actions to create a safe, appropriate work environment and welfare systems that allow employees to maximize and express their talents supported by physical and mental health.
2. We help employees cultivate better health with initiatives based on health maintenance and promotion policies, including education and healthy lifestyle information.
3. We pursue greater organizational and individual activity, productivity, and creativity through health management initiatives.

ES survey implementation

In order to detect issues and plan appropriate measures, we conduct an ‘ES survey’ (Employee Satisfaction Survey) annually. As well as feeding back the results of the survey to employees, we regard ‘continuing to improve employee satisfaction’ as a matter of upmost importance, and confirm and verify the effectiveness of the measures in the following year’s questionnaire.

Work-life balance

As a “Tokyo Workstyle Reform Declaration Company” approved by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in 2016, we are not only complying with laws and regulations, but actively working from a viewpoint of work-life balance to eliminate long working hours and promote vacation taking. We monitor ‘paid leave use’ and ‘average monthly hours of overtime’ as material KPIs. In addition, we maintain leave and reduced hour systems to support balancing work and childcare, so that employees can achieve results regardless of gender or changes in their life stage and situation. Furthermore, we are gradually progressing with initiatives for flexible and diverse work styles, such as the introduction of a system for taking paid leave on an hourly basis, as well as teleworking.

Initiatives for mental and physical health

We are putting effort into health support based on the belief that vigorous work from physically and mentally healthy employees leads to a vibrant company. We are enhancing our various consultation services, beginning with the introduction of EAP services, as well as providing thorough health checkups, working to improve our stress check take-up rate, and other initiatives.

Recognized as a “Health Management Outstanding Organization Program (Large Enterprise Category)”

Health information in the in-house website
We provide health information in our in-house website, the TechnoPro Square.

Response to the spread of coronavirus infection

• Establishment of "Mental Health Care Consultation Service for Coronavirus
• Introduction of telecommuting and flextime systems
• Relaxed restrictions on the use of private vehicles for commuting
• Introduced a special paid leave system for an employee who tests positive, becomes a close contact, or has to deal with a school closure.
• Develop guidelines of infection prevention for employees.

Initiatives for Mental health

The TechnoPro Group has formulated a "Mental Health Development Plan" based on the "Four Care for Mental Health" guidelines of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and is working to ensure that all employees can work with vitality and vigor.
In addition, we have established regular debriefing sessions on the mental health measures of the outsourced EAP companies and our Group, and the results are reported to the board of directors for reflection and improvement in the next year's action plan.

Employees receive support from qualified consultants to ensure maximum individual performance
The TechnoPro Group has established a consultation desk for issues confronting employees, allowing employees to devote themselves to their work and maximize their performance.
This consultation is provided by qualified personnel who have a wealth of specialized knowledge and experience. We also have a support system in place to resolve problems and reduce stress before they become major issues.

Having a full lineup of consultants familiar with technical industries and issues faced by engineers. Dispatching counselors familiar with technical industries and the business of our group (dispatching/contracting/outsourcing, etc.) means we are able to respond smoothly to issues unique to our business. These can include being unable to communicate clearly with staff in charge at the assigned destination, personal relationships within the project team, and differences in policies between dispatcher and dispatched staff.

Fostering an approachable organizational culture
It takes courage for a troubled employee to seek counselling and, in some cases, they may not be aware of needing help. Techno-Pro Group conducts mental health self-care awareness (for employees) and training in line care (for supervisors) to promote the importance of ‘recognizing symptoms early.’ The company strives to create an atmosphere in which people feel comfortable to accept counselling.

Mental health counselling
TechnoPro provides professional counselling via a subcontracted EAP (Employee Assistance Program) company. In addition to mental health, counselling on the following is also available:

Initiatives for harassment prevention

In addition to clearly stating that harassment is prohibited in our work rules, we are creating a comfortable workplace, maintaining an environment where workers can easily have regular consultations by ensuring that the laws and our group policies are well known, and by implementing ongoing improvement via training. In the event an incident occurs, a specialized department will investigate and take appropriate action.

Harassment counselling
We have established contact points for harassment both externally and internally to make them accessible to our employees.The in-house contact point consists of counselor representatives who are qualified as anti-harassment consultants, senior industrial counselors,and psychological counselors, etc. These offices provide consultation on various types of harassment.

Training for employees
Training on workplace harassment prevention is provided to employees. In addition, training on workplace harassment response, power harassment prevention, and sexual harassment prevention is provided to executives and managerial employees as part of regular training programs.

Publication of Booklet
We have published a booklet entitled "STOP! Harassment Book" to educate our employees.

Establishment of HR system

In order to enable employees to take active roles nationwide and in various positions, we provide allowances related to job appointments, company housing systems, and various subsidy systems for supporting qualifications and self-development, as well as offering job postings to support employee-driven independent career development. In addition, with the aim of improving satisfaction and motivation, we are also introducing a training oriented personnel evaluation system and continuing with management skill training.

Human Resource System

The new human resource system of TechnoPro, Inc., introduced in July 2022, is designed to evaluate the market value of engineers and researchers in terms of technical skills (the power of technology) and business skills (the power of people) in line with the Purpose, and to determine compensation based on these skills. We visualize definitions and salary ranges for each grade of employee, expected base charges for engineer staffing and outsourcing contracts, and rules regarding evaluation, promotion, and pay raises. We also provide a variety of career paths that allow employees to work on solutions to customer issues and social issues, thereby motivating employees to develop their skills

Life plan support

We provide a ‘TechnoPro Group Employee Stock Ownership Plan,’ ‘Retirement Benefits (Corporate Defined Contribution Pension System)’ and a ‘Savings System’ to support employee asset formation. In addition to encouraging employees to independently work towards asset creation after retirement by providing information on asset management and investment in defined contribution pension plans, we are making efforts to support employees’ life plans by methods such as holding free ‘money seminars.’
