Co-creation with employees and their family

As a precondition for the Resonac Group’s growth, we think it is necessary to ensure that employees who are “core players for value creation” can work with vigor to meet society’s needs. Accordingly, we are working to communicate extensively with employees, providing them with workplaces where they can work with satisfaction, and to become an enterprise that they can be proud of. We are also conducting activities to help employees’ families deepen their understanding of the Group, including inviting them on a tour of our facilities.
