Creating an Employee-friendly Workplace

Conducting Survey to Visualize Employee
Feedback and Further Improve Engagement

At Polyplastics, we strive to create work environments which capitalize on the skills and individuality of each and every employee, and we are therefore committed to having greater engagement※1 with our employees. In order to identify those measures needed for achieving this goal, our HR Department conducts regular Engagement Survey※2 of group company employees. This survey elicits frank and honest employee feedback from a variety of angles, such as with regard to how employees feel about their work environments and job duties or how they feel performing their day-to-day duties, and the results are then quantified and visualized. Based on these results, each Group company elicited the essential measures and put into action.
Furthermore, the headquarters also put these survey results to use in enhancing engagement via cross-functional measures for the entire group, such as implementing a global rotation system and ensuring greater transparency of in-house systems.

At a company where a large number of employees expressed a desire for more growth opportunities, an outside specialist was invited to conduct LIFO-based management training geared towards identifying and developing employees’ individual strengths and style.
