Toward each employee becoming
an “individual who excels”
through facing a variety of challenges.
Bringing together the capabilities
of these “individuals who excel,”
we will work to demonstrate
the “team capabilities” that embody
the Group’s inherent strength.

Based on its belief that human resources, as assets, are the driving force behind the continued creation of new value, the Mitsui Fudosan Group has continued to engage with each and every employee in a way that helps them enhance their respective fields of knowledge and capabilities, and to serve as a driving force as a team. I am also convinced that our greatest strength, based on the correct intentions, is surely that like-minded people will coalesce and as a team pave the way by demonstrating capabilities greater than the sum of our parts.
I myself have vivid memories of experiences in which we overcame major challenges and difficulties and paved the way through teamwork. For example, during my time as a team member, I recall the experience of working hard as part of a team and being able to contribute to the launch of Japan’s first REIT. During my time as an executive manager, and when faced with various projects coming to a standstill in the fallout following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, instances arose where we pooled our wisdom as a team and moved projects forward at the end of negotiation and coordination. To demonstrate teamwork requires that each and every one of us enhances our respective fields of knowledge and capabilities and becomes an “individual who excels.” It is my belief that when people enhance their individuality by facing a range of challenges, and these “individuals who excel” form a team, they will be able to bring about innovation and the creation of added value.
Under & INNOVATION 2030, the Mitsui Fudosan Group states that its vision is to “contribute to the creation of added value for society as an industrial developer.” The profile of the ideal human resources who will support the realization of that vision are “people who possess diverse perspectives, varying careers, are highly motivated, and who will take on the challenges of innovation while creating added value.” We are aiming “to become an organization in which such people form One Team, and brings together diverse values and capabilities as well as realizes further added value creation as a team.”
To realize these human resources and organization, we will engage in three initiatives. The first involves “raising the level of our human resource capabilities, the source of value creation.” While enhancing talent management that focuses on each and every employee and strengthening investment in education to gain new insights and awareness, we will elevate our employees’ ability to create added value. We will also further strengthen the current high level of employee engagement, leading to improved performance. The second initiative involves “actively securing human resources and knowledge to accelerate innovation.” In actively recruiting human resources from a variety of fields and industries, we are supporting their active participation. We are also intensifying our efforts to acquire and develop technology and globally minded human resources. Acquiring human resources with diverse perspectives and expertise will increase the speed at which we generate innovation.
The third initiative is to “support the activities of diverse human resources and develop the Group’s One Team organization that brings together the strengths of the Group.” To become an organization that brings together the capabilities of its employees and creates added value, the Mitsui Fudosan Group is working as one to instill its values. This includes “a thoroughgoing customer-oriented approach” and “importance placed on team results over the individual,” to promote communication and cooperation within the Group through training and other means, and to expand employee compensation and conditions. Furthermore, to support the active participation of diverse human resources, we are promoting D&I, including health and productivity management and the empowerment of women, throughout the Group. For example, we are focusing on four areas: respecting diverse lifestyles and values, including those relating to childcare and nursing care; creating environments in which employees can continue working long term; supporting independent career development; and changes in awareness throughout the organization.
Monitoring the results and current status of these initiatives, we will ascertain both the quantitative and qualitative aspects while evolving our human resources strategies and measures. This will be achieved by, for example, carrying out interviews between Personnel Department staff and all employees and conducting engagement surveys on an annual basis.
