AIFUL has established Basic Personnel Guidelines as guidelines for personnel policies to build a “workplace that provides a sense of purpose.”

Establishment of Basic Personnel Guidelines

To realize its corporate philosophy and create a “workplace that provides a sense of purpose” as stated in its Code of Conduct, the AIFUL Group has established Basic Personnel Guidelines, which guide the formulation of future personnel policies.

The Basic Personnel Guidelines position employees as valuable assets of the company and establish as the foundation of AIFUL’s personnel policies a commitment to enabling employees to live richer lives by achieving personal growth and a sense of accomplishment through work and having a sense of purpose. Based on such corporate culture, AIFUL aims to pursue programs and an environment where each employee can perform to the best of their abilities with a high level of independence and carry out corporate activities that earn the trust of society. In October 2019, the personnel system was partially revised in accordance with changing social norms and expectations.
