Acquisition of talents | Sustainability

The Group believes, just as our predecessors have built today’s corporate group without sticking to the precedents, that it would be the source of our competitiveness to continue to value a culture of boldness and daring to take on challenges, and to respect diversity which creates new value by bringing in new ideas. Moreover, under the environment of the aging of the population and the declining birthrate and the decreasing working population, we need to focus our efforts on retention of talents as well.
At Wacoal Corp., we are focusing on recruitment of new graduates as well as lateral hires (including recent graduates and mid-career hires). We plan to continue to use lateral hires for approximately 30% to 50% of the total number of career-track positions, including management candidates, insufficient global, EC and DX specialists, and other personnel.
