Utilizing and developing human resources
Under its medium-term strategy, the CAC Group is promoting a shift towards digital business.
We are working to develop the human resources required to promote these efforts and striving to create a healthy and pleasant work environment for all employees.
Pleasant work environmentPursuing ways to work that are not restricted by time or place
CAC Holdings and CAC, which is the core operating company, began promoting the systemization of internal procedures, the utilization of teleconferencing and the accompanying shift towards paperless operation in 2011 and built a teleworking environment and system that allow people to work anytime, anywhere and with anyone in 2012. We also redesigned the office, including the expansion of a flexible-use floor that facilitates various working styles even when employees are in the office.
As we were able to continue business without major disruptions by utilizing remote work and web conferencing systems when employees were asked to stay at home from early 2020 due to COVID-19, we made
it possible for employees to select their work patterns as an initiative in anticipation of this new normal.
Rather than something limited to during the COVID-19 pandemic, all employees can choose whether to work mainly at the office or mainly from home, so that each employee can achieve diverse working styles that reflect their individual circumstances and lifestyles.
In the future, we also plan to introduce a flextime system in order to further enhance employee engagement, among other benefits.

Pleasant work environmentPromotion of diversity
In recent years, the percentage of CAC Group employees of foreign nationality* has surpassed 60%.
Through technology, we promote exchanges between human resources that go beyond nationality and advance diversity.
The percentage of female employees in the group is also on the rise.
At the end of 2020, women accounted for 25% of our total workforce.
The number of female managers has also risen.
Since the General Meeting of Shareholders held in March 2021, two of the Board’s six directors are female, creating a management structure with greater diversity than ever before.
Human Resource DevelopmentInitiatives to promote digital shift
To accomplish the shift to digital business under our medium-term strategy, since 2018 CAC has compiled a list of the technological areas to be tackled as a technology strategy based on future business expansion and formulated a Technology Compass which plots those definitions, our current efforts, future action, examples, business values and other information.
This helps individual employees to understand what technologies they should acquire, the direction in which the Group is headed and what actions they should take.
The Technology Compass is updated periodically to reflect advances in technology and the changes to required technologies and the company direction based on global trends.
