For employees to work passionately and for the company and employees to grow together, we believe it is important for the company to improve employee engagement by putting in place a system that encourages this and fostering an organizational culture that is easy to work in. As one of these efforts, we started engagement surveys in 2022. In the first half of the fiscal year ended December 2023, these were expanded to contract employees in addition to all full-time employees in Japan, and these targeted around 3,100 employees, excluding those working at overseas Nissha Group factories, etc. in the second half of the fiscal year ended December 2023. The purpose of this survey was to identify issues that will improve the diverse capabilities and passions of Nissha, the source of our growth, and to improve it to the way we are, and will be conducted annually in the future.

Compared to the result of 2022, the result of 2023 shows, overall, improvements in the key indices, reflecting that actions in the workplaces over this period were bearing fruit. In addition, increased interest among employees lead to a sizeable improvement in the response rate. These results will be analyzed at the company, business, and workplace levels to create specific actions with the aim of further improvements. By continuing these efforts into the future, we shall foster a corporate culture where all employees can work with passion.
