What We Aim to Achieve
Cultivating an organizational culture in which diverse individuals resonate with the Pigeon Way and our Purpose; feel pride in the Company, their department, and their work; have an intrinsic motivation to contribute; and can embrace new challenges and express themselves to drive personal growth
Individual Issues
The Pigeon Group has established a long-term human resource vision of realizing a "group of autonomous professionals" and is implementing a merit-based personnel system, a human resource development framework that promotes autonomous growth and active participation, and career development support for employees with a strong sense of autonomy. In this way, by continuously developing an environment where employees can work with vitality, we aim to "make the company a place where each and every employee can shine in their own way."
Our company is committed to fostering a culture where employees can take on challenges without fear of failure, so that they can maximize their potential. We conduct the employee-initiated Pigeon Frontier Awards (PFA) with the concept of "increasing enjoyable time at work and supporting and recognizing employees who boldly take on challenges for the future." We are focused on enabling the building of relationships with members from other departments with diverse backgrounds and providing opportunities for employee growth.
The Pigeon Group's human resource development policy is to have highly specialized employees with knowledge and experience throughout the value chain, and to aim for a diverse group of professionals who keep their eyes on social changes, think about the future, and actively update themselves.
Our Group believes that when employees with diverse values respect each other's differences in values and ways of thinking and leverage those differences, it enriches new product ideas and leads to the creation of innovation. To promote DE&I (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion), we welcome diverse talent with motivation and ability as employees, regardless of nationality, race, gender, age, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation. At the same time, we are creating a comfortable working environment through work-life balance support and work style reforms so that employees can fully demonstrate their abilities even when facing various circumstances such as childcare, nursing care, or illness.
