Human Resources Management
NRS strives to create an open and inclusive workplace where everyone can work comfortably, promoting respect for diversity and fostering “decent work” environments.
This commitment is symbolized by our corporate philosophy, “Like a shining diamond,to share happiness with everyone.” This principle embodies our wish for the well-being of everyone connected to the company and expresses our strong desire to build a society in which all individuals—regardless of gender or race—can flourish on equal terms. By pursuing this philosophy, we believe we can advance our diversity initiatives and ensure that each employee can lead a fulfilling life while experiencing purpose and meaning in their work.
Since our founding in 1946, NRS has walked a long path of growth, and we believe that the key to our future success lies in the development of our human resources. Even in an era driven by AI and automation, the role of human beings remains indispensable. No matter how advanced the technology, it is ultimately the diverse talents of our people that support corporate growth. We provide assistance tailored to individual lifestyles and circumstances, and we actively promote flexible work arrangements so that every employee can enjoy a rich and rewarding professional life.
NRS will continue to value strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders—including customers, business partners, employees, and shareholders—as it moves forward. As a responsible “corporate citizen,” and as a “global citizen” who respects the cultures and customs of nations worldwide, we will continue to fulfill our responsibilities and contribute to building a better society.
Strengthening Human Resource Development
Basic Idea
As NRS’s operations become increasingly sophisticated, strengthening human resource development is essential to achieve our vision of “To be a leading chemical-logistics company in the world”.
We respect and promote diversity, and we are taking on the challenge of creating a system for developing human resources through learning and experience.
Based on a global workforce plan aligned with our management strategy, we develop professional human resources in various fields. This includes those who can adapt to environmental changes and those who can take on the challenges of globalization and play an active role. We achieve this by assigning them according to their individual aptitudes, abilities, and career plans.
Additionally, we aim to form a cohesive group where each department collaborates closely with one another.
