HR securing

Amid major environmental changes, including intensified competition for talent due to population decline, increasingly diverse career perspectives among individuals, and greater labor market mobility, securing human resources and further promoting employees’ active participation and advancement are critically important to the successful execution of our management strategies.

・Securing the necessary personnel to implement the business strategy.

To strengthen our stable recruitment of new graduates that has been implemented so far, we are expanding internship programs, introducing new workshops, and increasing opportunities for plant tours. In addition to the recruitment of postdoctoral researchers with advanced expertise, we are also proactively hiring experienced professionals, including alumni. Since FY2024, we have introduced employee referral bonuses to encourage internal recommendations.
In addition, we are implementing measures for publicity, such as commercial messages or advertising, to raise awareness of Nippon Steel from not only job applicants such as students but also a wide range of generations.
Furthermore, in FY2024 we implemented a substantial increase in starting salaries and, for two consecutive years, carried out significant revisions to employee’s compensation packages at levels exceeding the current rate of inflation.
By maintaining industry-leading compensation standards, we aim to secure human resources and promote employees’ participation and advancement, which is one of our highest management priorities, and improve retention in our workplace.
