Asset Management Company Initiatives for Employees

We, the Asset Management company, place among the top priorities of business management the establishment of a comfortable work environment and organization that promotes the physical and mental health of executives and employees. We have made various initiatives to establish an environment that promotes personnel evaluation and benefits in order to maximize the abilities and motivation of every employee which leads to the achievement of sustainable growth.

Regular performance appraisals and feedback processes

All employees set an annual goal following an interview with their reporting supervisor. We conduct personnel evaluations at the end of the fiscal period after an interview with all employees to look back on their performance and provide feedback on the evaluation results. The result of those performance reviews are reflected in employees' compensation. We have established a transparent personnel evaluation system through regular measurement and feedback processes.

Skill development opportunities

Employees are provided with a wealth of e-learning contents to prepare for qualification exams and to acquire various business skills. Employees can use them at any time to improve their expertise and skills.

Respect for human rights and promotion of diversity

We accept differences in diverse professional abilities and values as well as paying respect to positive heterogeneity in order to maximize the abilities of each individual employee. We aspire to achieve sustainable corporate growth while creating additional value.
Our Compliance Regulations clearly prohibits all kind of discrimination and sexual harassment, and we strive to foster a corporate culture that respects personality, and promote the active participation of women by creating a work environment and systems that are comfortable for women.
