In employing human resources to play a central role in the “real estate solutions partner” business, Mitsui Fudosan places emphasis on having a broad perspective, high potential and not being entirely focused on any specific area of specialty, and employs human resources of various backgrounds based on the philosophy of diversity.
During recruitment of new graduates, in order to instill an accurate understanding of the work content and business among students who are considering applying for a position, Mitsui Fudosan holds employee visits whereby students are welcome to visit employees to ask questions on such topics as work or life as a working individual. Moreover, “business experience seminars” are also conducted whereby an overall picture of the company is introduced. In particular, at the “business experience seminars,” Mitsui Fudosan also devises ways to deepen students' understanding of the developer business, such as having students take part in games in which they plan complexes and other urban developments. For recruitment of mid-career professionals who are to engage in a variety of work with a view toward future positions in general management with possible transfers to other locations, rather than restrict applications to those who were in a certain industry in their previous position, Mitsui Fudosan seeks a broad range of human resources capable of thinking outside the box and not bound by the concepts of value established in the real estate industry as well as human resources that possess a wealth of experience. Furthermore, since 2007 Mitsui Fudosan has also been conducting recruitment of mid-career professionals who are to engage in specific tasks with a view toward a future management position with no transfers to other locations, whereby Mitsui Fudosan seeks a broad range of human resources capable of proactively engaging in a range of individual tasks required to accomplish goals while playing a part in executing projects by working together with mid-career employees earmarked for general management positions and collaborating with relevant parties inside and outside the company.
Mitsui Fudosan embarks on an array of steps to enable employees to work with enthusiasm, such as a system in which employees can select working styles that suit their own lifestyles.
In terms of systems, there is child care leave available up to when the child turns two years old, family care leave that can be taken for up to one year per family member requiring care, and short working hours available for employees with preschool children or for employees with family members requiring care, among other systems. There is also special summer leave and special consecutive leave that enable a long-term leave of about one week to be taken, a refreshment leave available for employees who have reached a certain number of years of continuous employment, and other systems as support for ensuring an appropriate work-life balance.
In addition, importance is attached to communication, such as individual hearings conducted by the Personnel Department with each employee, in order to accurately understand each and every employee's career preferences, actual work conditions, state of health and other situations.
Furthermore, as measures to maintain and promote good health, Mitsui Fudosan has installed a Health Committee and is making such efforts as raising the percentage of employees taking regular health checkups. Efforts are also being made to improve the overall labor environment such as preventing physical and mental illnesses by having health nurses and industrial physicians meet with employees who are overworking. Moreover, Mitsui Fudosan aims to create an environment that respects the interests of the employees themselves and where they can work with peace of mind by taking such steps as ensuring coordination between the Personnel Department and the heads of the respective Groups with the Health Management Center, which houses resident industrial physicians and health nurses, when employees use reinstatement programs upon returning to work after taking long-term leave and in other cases.
Mitsui Fudosan has established employee conduct standards regarding human rights. New employees attend training on sexual harassment, power harassment and discrimination, and a consultation counter for sexual harassment has been set up at the Personnel Department that is open 24 hours a day to take phone consultations.
