Employee Engagement

Education and Development

Ryohin Keikaku provides a variety of training programs for new employees, managers, and executives in order to create a culture in which all employees and staff members are challenged to set high goals, work hard, and feel a sense of fulfillment when they achieve them, thus contributing to individual growth and improvement of professional knowledge and skills.

Leadership Talent Development Session

In 2022, we began the Leadership Talent Development Session, in which executives, general managers and managers from Japan and overseas come together to discuss issues. This also includes dialogue with the president. The event is a discussion-type session in which participants talk about the mindset and behavior necessary to produce results in day-to-day business, deepen their mutual understanding, and then link their actions to improvement in daily operations. Through this session, we will develop the leadership talent necessary to maximize our performance as an organization.

Store Manager Cultivation Project

In order to prepare employees to become store managers in the third year of their career, this program provides on-the-job training at stores, as well as off-the-job trainings to help employees develop ways of thinking and other necessary skills over a two-year period. Currently, approximately 650 employees are participating in this project.(As of August, 2024)

Community Manager Training Program

We are focusing on the training of community managers who have the role to plan and conduct business activities within each region. Community managers are expected to connect with various people and organizations in the region, such as the government, companies, business operators, farmers and the local people, and to dig into resolving regional issues.
In this training program, the trainees explore their own selves and the way the world is based on the expansion of oneself and other beings and experience the philosophy and vision of Ryohin Keikaku. Through this process, we develop human resources that can embody what is truly important to themselves within our business activities.

Lifestyle Organizing School

The "Lifestyle Organizing School" was launched in 2018 as an internal training program to develop talents who can discover the charms of local life and propose business plans based on them. Participants visit local communities, communicate with active citizens in the community and local governments in order to propose business plans for the betterment of the community. Since 2018, six sessions have been held, and roughly 102 employee participated in these sessions. (As of the end of August 2024)

Anti-harassment Training

To prevent harassment and improve management skills in accordance with the Group's Compliance Code of Conduct, we regularly hold anti-harassment training sessions for newly appointed managers. In FY2024, harassment training sessions were conducted for a total of 10,110 employees, including partner employees, with a participation rate of 85.9%.
