Fundamental Approach

A Corporate Culture that Emphasizes Learning and a Workplace Environment that Fosters Action

　Development of Human Resources is a major pillar of the corporate culture we are striving to build in the JR Kyushu Group. To ensure the sustainable growth of the JR Kyushu Group, each and every employee needs to learn and challenge themselves to achieve continuous growth and evolution. It is also important for employees at all levels to be self-aware and conscious of the knowledge and skills required in their daily work in order to make the JR Kyushu Group a strong organization. The JR Kyushu Group has many systems for employees who are enthusiastic about growing and learning. We use these to help our employees learn and become the best they can be.

Group Training at Employee Training Center

　A wide range of employee development training for JR Kyushu employees is held at our employee training center. We provide training aligned with each growth stage for various positions, such as training for new employees, training for employees who have been promoted, training for employees’ new role as managers and training for new managers. In training by position, employees study topics such as mindsets, active communication, and management methods.

An English version of the handbook has also been produced in order to enable the contents to be communicated globally to employees more easily.
