Human Resource

 

MARUWA considers its employees to be "human capital," or a company asset, rather than "human resources." We believe that company growth is inseparable from human growth and we have been actively engaged in human resource development since our inception.
To become the industry's leading 3PL company, we must have exceptional human capital capable of consistently delivering valuable 3PL services that contribute to our customers' businesses. We are committed to enhancing the environment for human resource development and improving our education system to elevate the quality of our employees to the highest possible level. Our focus is on providing education for all employees, from management to recruits. We will continue to actively work on human resource development and training in order to establish ourselves as a category leader in the 3PL industry.

Mastering and Implementing a Corporate Culture

Since our company was established, we have embraced the "Momotaro culture" as the foundation of our management philosophy. This culture emphasizes the importance of nurturing socially responsible individuals. As employees of the same organization, we share the same values and code of conduct. We value the sense of unity and spirit that comes from having shared goals and objectives.

MQM Circle Activities

The activities of Momotaro Quality Management (MQM) circles involve small groups at each workplace engaging in improvement and reform efforts. These groups are led by front-line field leaders rather than higher-ranking personnel (such as division managers). The leaders identify workplace problems and challenges and take the initiative to conduct improvement activities, thus contributing to the development of human capital and the enhancement of quality management.
These activities are carried out on a yearly basis according to divisional management plans. The Maruwa Group organizes an annual forum to present the results of these activities. The top teams in each area will present at the National Convention in May. This convention allows all groups to share their workplace improvement and reform activities. It also provides an opportunity for presenters to enhance their presentation skills by delivering presentations in front of a large audience.
