The in-house Self-Access Learning (SAL) Room was established for employees to learn foreign languages and study for certificate tests based on their levels as well as for group discussions in the Headquarters.
Computers, a wireless Internet connection, educational software and books, and English newspapers and magazines are provided in the room for employees to use to improve themselves.
Initiatives to Improve Employee Engagement
Conducting an Employee Engagement Survey
We regularly conduct an “Employee Engagement Survey" with the aim of creating a workplace where each and every employee can achieve self-fulfillment, self-growth, and a sense of job satisfaction. Based on the survey results, we analyze changes in organizational conditions and identify issues in order to revitalize the organization and create a workplace and environment where each and every employee can demonstrate their abilities.
Educational Support and Qualification Incentive System
Support for English Learning
The Mabuchi Group is implementing the following programs to build a company-wide environment for employees to learn languages (especially English) so that employees can contribute to international societies.
- Providing opportunities for people to take the TOEIC test
- Holding TOEIC classes
- Providing opportunities for people to use an online English conversation system
- Running a short-term overseas study program
- Implementing a trainee system, etc.
We are also aiming to improve global communication abilities by holding English communication classes with interns from overseas and holding classes for people to learn technical knowledge.
Qualification Incentive System
We are promoting employees' self-development by establishing the Qualification Incentive System with a view to creating a self-learning atmosphere in the company and encouraging employees to acquire a wide range of knowledge useful for business operations.
Also, the Mabuchi Business School (home study system) is held twice a year, and the cost of the education is reimbursed to those who complete the program so as to create an environment where more employees can actively learn on their own.

Training for employees to learn and grow
We regard our training system as one of the processes for employees to gain a self-regulating mindset and spontaneously learn and grow. We are providing training from various perspectives targeting persons from executives to new employees.
Overseas Bases Personnel Exchange System
We have been promoting the exchange of personnel to create unity as the entire Mabuchi Group, build a cooperation system, share information, and improve Mabuchi's overall capability throug h the increased opportunities. Specifically, staff members of overseas bases are provided with more opportunities to go on business trips to the Headquarters.
We will continue to enhance the system while implementing it on an ongoing basis.
Human resources development at overseas bases
Representatives of individual production bases of the Mabuchi Group are gathering every year and holding a work skill competition. Employees who did well in the work skill competitions receive awards. Similar events are held at individual bases, and employees are improving their skills through competitions.
Training for new base employees
When new bases are established, such as Mexico Mabuchi and Poland Mabuchi in recent years, we are conducting employee education under the guidance of Headquarters and other bases.
The Mabuchi Group as a whole works together to convey our thinking about manufacturing from the basics and to develop core human resources.
Trust-type stock issuance plan for management-level employees
In addition to regular salaries and bonuses, we have introduced an incentive program for management-level employees that allows them to receive shares of the Company's stock as compensation. Since the value of the shares received increases as the stock price rises, employees can work with a high level of motivation to contribute, and the company and employees work together to increase corporate value.
Various Events for Employees and Families
We hold a variety of events and to foster a sense of unity among all employees. For example, we hold garden parties and bowling competitions at headquarters, sports events and cultural exchange activities at overseas bases.
