KOSÉ

To put into practice the “self-improvement” that is promoted in the Policy for the Development of Skills, KOSÉ emphasizes an approach based on learning and growing while utilizing the diversity of each individual, sharing its philosophy and goals with employees. As a support system, many employees have realized their dreams by utilizing the human resource open recruitment system and self-reporting system that allow them to consider and realize their careers on their own. In addition, we have a wide range of training systems and correspondence education subsidies in place for employee growth. From the time of joining the Company, we conduct level-specific training that includes career planning regularly at each milestone, along with training for skills development that is conducted according to role. We have also introduced a talent management system and conduct 360-degree evaluations to develop human resources tailored to each individual’s aptitude. KOSÉ also provides opportunities for practical training that matches the activities of specific business units and departments to encourage personal growth. In addition, we have a Company-wide project for generating ideas and proposals for cosmetics products that provide customers with new types of value. Taking advantage of diversity and inclusion for the creation of innovative ideas is the primary objective of this project.

Creating a healthy work environment is important for the growth of a company  and to the employees who are the source of its competitive edge. As a cosmetics company, KOSÉ promotes human rights awareness training and diversity management, with the aim of fostering a work environment in which diverse personalities can flourish. The KOSÉ Human Rights Policy and KOSÉ Group Action Guidelines stipulates respect for the human rights of every individual, and does not engage in any activities that lead to discrimination. We promote awareness and understanding in the workplace, and strive to create a healthy work environment that respects diversity. In addition, the KOSÉ Group respects the rights of its employees. In accordance with international principles such as the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, which prohibits discriminatory treatment, child labor, and forced labor, and calls for respect for the principle of equal pay for equal work as well as for freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, we comply with labor-related laws and labor-management agreements in the countries and regions where we operate, engage in sincere dialogue and consultations with employees and employee representatives, and strive to build constructive relationships.
With regard to raising awareness about human rights internally, we conduct various forms of activities in order to foster knowledge and awareness that is considered necessary in each specific department and employee position.
